    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers rebounded in Week 4, securing a convincing 33-16 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Following a lackluster showing in their loss to the Denver Broncos, Tampa Bay wasted no time establishing control, jumping out to a 24-0 lead with 7:18 remaining in the second quarter. The Bucs' fast start, powered by Baker Mayfield’s strong play, set the tone for the rest of the game.

    How did the offensive snap counts play into the win?

    Mayfield had one of his best performances of the season, completing 30 of 47 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with Mike Evans and later found Trey Palmer, while also adding a rushing touchdown of his own. Tampa’s offense showed resilience, with key contributions from Chris Godwin and Sterling Shepard, who combined for 120 yards receiving.

    In the second half, the Buccaneers added another touchdown and a field goal, stretching their lead to 33-16. Although the Eagles attempted to mount a comeback, Tampa's defense held firm, forcing a punt and then running out the clock in the final minutes.

    Here are the Bucs' offensive snap counts:

    • Ben Bredeson: 77
    • Justin Skule: 77
    • Baker Mayfield: 77
    • Cody Mauch: 77
    • Graham Barton: 77

    With this win, the Buccaneers improved to 3-1 on the season and now shift their focus to an NFC South showdown against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons, led by quarterback Kirk Cousins, will look to challenge Tampa Bay’s defense. Despite Cousins’ slow start coming off an Achilles injury, Atlanta sits at 2-2, making the matchup critical for positioning in the division.
