Tampa Bay Buccaneers tackle Tristan Wirfs struggled during a 33-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Wirfs faced difficulties in pass protection, recorded two false starts, and was involved in a pivotal strip-sack of quarterback Baker Mayfield. The Buccaneers' offensive line collectively allowed four sacks and 10 pressures, marking a rare poor performance.
