The Bucs came into the game looking for revenge, and despite not putting up the best offensive showing, they were able to come away with a hard-fought 20-16 victory in Ford Field. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p> The Buccaneers were without their starting right tackle Luke Goedeke in this one, which allowed Aidan Hutchinson to have a day with 4.5 sacks. Baker Mayfield didn't necessarily struggle on the day, but he only managed 185 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception on the day. </p><p> The running game also didn't live up to what we saw in Week 1 against the Commanders, as the running back room was held to under 70 yards on the ground. One bright spot that carried over from Week 1 is the involvement of WR Chris Godwin, who caught seven passes for 117 yards and a score on Sunday. </p><p> Here are the highest and lowest-graded Buccaneers offensive players from their win over the Detroit Lions to start the season 2-0. </p><p><a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/buccaneers/news/tampa-bay-buccaneers-star-vita-vea-receives-hopeful-injury-prognosis" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong> READ MORE: Bucs Star Receives Hopeful Injury Prognosis </strong></a></p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><figure><a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/buccaneers/news/best-and-worst-graded-tampa-bay-buccaneers-offensive-players-vs-detroit-lions?utm_source=RSS" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0irXyD_0vYLd7pC00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0irXyD_0vYLd7pC00" width="1920" height="1080" ></a><figcaption>Todd Bowles Recaps Buccaneers Training Camp </figcaption></figure><h2> Highest Graded: </h2><h3> 1.
