They've alternated each game. What was most troubling to coaches was the failure to pick up a blitz. 1st down is one thing. Not protecting the GOAT far far worse. Report: Leonard Fournette is expected to get the start for the Buccaneers today profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/09/26/rep…

The Los Angeles Rams are back home in Week 3 after beating the Indianapolis Colts on the road last week, but their next opponent will be their toughest yet. They’ll host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are also 2-0, on Sunday afternoon at SoFi Stadium.

Sean McVay and Rams players have downplayed the notion that this will be a measuring stick game for them, but a win over the defending champions will further establish Los Angeles as one of the three or four best teams in the league.

It’s just that getting a win against the Bucs is easier said than done. The Rams are understandably underdogs, even though they’re at home. Tom Brady leads the league in touchdown passes with nine and Tampa Bay’s run defense looks just as good as it did last season when it ranked first

I liked the jet sweep with Chris Godwin. Typically if a wide receiver has been in the backfield, it's been Antonio Brown.

Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski out of the medical tent and headed for the locker room as his teammates finish off a TD drive. Gronk took a huge hit to the side from Rams OLB Terrell Lewis.

Ryan Succop way right on a 55-yard field goal, so it's halftime in Los Angeles, Rams up 14-7 on Bucs.

Bruce Arians says the Bucs needed the pass rush to get home to help a depleted secondary and it never happened.

Brady to Mike Evans for a first down to the 40.

We had wondered who would step up at receiver with Antonio Brown sidelined today for the Bucs' offense: Tyler Johnson: 3 catches, 63 yards Scotty Miller: 2 catches, 11 yards Jaelon Darden: 1 catch, 0 yards

Tough day for Bucs corner Ross Cockrell, said secondary has to communicate better and make plays on third down. He's wearing an Olympic team hat to support his sister Anna, who made the finals as a hurdler. pic.twitter.com/Lh0hKvVwWb

Rookie WR Jaelon Darden is active for a regular-season game for the first time in his NFL career and could factor into the return game today. Also, second-year RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn is active for the first time this season.

Third and 7, and Brady converts on a screen to Giovani Bernard. That's what they brought him in for ...

So Bucs running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn is active for the first time this season, will work on special teams and perhaps a cameo on offense. Practice-squad callups Rashard Robinson and Deon Yelder can make their Bucs debuts today.

Two big catches for Tyler Johnson on this drive -- 23 yards and now 31 to the 8-yard line.

Now a 15-yard punt by Bradley Pinion and the wheels are off for the Bucs. Rams are now teeing off on Brady. This one is about over.

DeSean Jackson again, wide open on third down. Carlton Davis chasing him on a 42-yard gain. First and goal for Rams.

#Bucs getting to Matt Stafford early – Devin White and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka both with pressures on the Rams' opening drive.

Great job by Vita Vea to disrupt the run play and it's finished by Shaq Barrett, Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and Ross Cockrell. That's the two-minute warning with the game still tied 7-7. #Rams will have a third and short up next. #Bucs

Lavonte David: "They just made more fun lays than we did." Says there were a few times the defense should have been able to get off the field.

Bucs now say Jamel Dean is out the rest of the game with his knee injury. Big test for Dee Delaney.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have to finish Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams without yet another starting cornerback.

Jamel Dean left the game in the first half with a knee injury, and has now been ruled out for the rest of the game.

The Bucs are already without Sean Murphy-Bunting due to injury, so Dean’s absence will leave Tampa Bay’s defensive backfield even more short-handed against a talented passing attack

Scotty Miller false start, so now third and 20.
