This represents a significant development for Tampa Bay, following a recent defeat. During Week 12, Mayfield was sidelined after the break, and Teddy Bridgewater encountered difficulties when he took over.

The Buccaneers' offense is anticipated to perform significantly improved with Mayfield leading the team instead of Bridgewater.

Tampa Bay is also getting a big boost with the return from injury of Bucky Irving.

Mike Evans remains out, but the Buccaneers have otherwise continued to get healthier.

This presents an opportunity for Tampa Bay to achieve a swift recovery. The contest might end up involving considerable aerial activity.

Arizona is prepared to let Jacoby Brissett throw extensively. Should the Buccaneers adopt a similar approach with Mayfield, scoring could escalate rapidly.
