Bucs Offense Impresses in Preseason Finale Win

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wrapped up their preseason with a convincing 24-14 win over the Miami Dolphins . The game showcased the Buccaneers’ offensive potential as they head into the regular season, with standout performances across the board.

Quarterback Kyle Trask , often criticized in the past, delivered one of his best performances in a Buccaneers uniform. Trask completed 17 of 24 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns, displaying impressive accuracy and poise in the pocket. His connection with tight end Ryan Miller was particularly noteworthy, as the pair linked up for one of Trask’s touchdown passes. Wide receiver Tanner Knue also shone, hauling in a touchdown reception that drew comparisons to Mike Evans for its skill and precision. Trask’s night could have been even better, with a potential third touchdown slipping through the hands of receiver Cody Thompson.

While Trask stole the spotlight, Baker Mayfield and the starting offense, minus key players like Mike Evans and Lavonte David , also looked sharp. Mayfield, in limited action, showed no signs of rust as he efficiently led the first-team offense. Jalen McMillan made one of the standout catches of the preseason, and Vita Vea delivered a dominant performance on the offensive line, nearly overpowering the Dolphins’ center on one play.
