How have the Lions and Buccaneers performed in 2025?

The Detroit Lions are enjoying an impressive start to the 2025 season. They've won four games and lost just two ahead of tonight's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

However, the Lions are coming off a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6. It was a humbling defeat and ended Dan Campbell's side's four-game winning streak. They'll aim to get back to winning ways against the Buccaneers.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are arguably the best-performing team in the NFC. Todd Bowles' side is 5-1 with their sole loss coming against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4.

The Buccaneers are led by MVP frontrunner Baker Mayfield, and they've found unique ways to win dicey matchups since the beginning of the season. They'll look to record their third straight win against Jared Goff and Co.
