22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-4) – BYE

Recap: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers went to London in hopes of righting the ship after a hard-fought loss in Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints, however the exact opposite happened. Jameis Winston threw five picks and turned the ball over sick times in total, while also being sacked seven times. The Panthers owned a 34-10 lead early in the fourth quarter and it was a deficit far too big for the bumbling Winston to overcome.

Outlook: Like the Tennessee Titans, the Bucs have plenty of questions surrounding their 2015 first-round pick. Unlike the Titans, the Bucs don’t really have an option behind Winston, so a quarterback switch isn’t likely in the foreseeable future. And speaking of the Titans, the Bucs will hit the road to take on Tennessee in Week 8 after Tampa Bay’s bye in Week 7. One of the more interesting storylines would have been the former 2015 No. 1 pick vs. the No. 2 pick, but Marcus Mariota has been benched for Ryan Tannehill.
