Tampa Bay Buccaneers set for season opener against New York Jets
Summary

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will kick off their 52nd NFL season against the New York Jets on September 13. Last year, the Buccaneers finished with an 8-9 record, missing the playoffs, partly due to injuries impacting key players. As they prepare for this season, several players are highlighted as key figures, including wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. and running back Bucky Irving. The Buccaneers will also face teams like the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, and Minnesota Vikings in their upcoming schedule, with a set of preseason games starting in mid-August.
