Remember Baker Mayfield? This is him now. The former Browns bust threw for 289 yards and four touchdowns in the Bucs' 37-20 pasting of the Commanders, getting Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in on the action nice and early too. The victory, however, came at a cost. No fewer than six of their starters on defense have either been ruled out or are questionable for today's encounter.

The Lions have injury problems of their own. One of those who could miss out is Jameson Williams, who scored a touchdown while racking up 121 yards in the hard-fought 26-20 win over the Rams. That would be a blow, though Jared Goff took care to share the love last weekend, connecting at least three times with four separate targets.

Lions inactives: DL Marcus Davenport, OL Giovanni Manu, S Ifeatu Melifonwu, LB Trevor Nowaske, CB Ennis Rakestraw, OL Colby Sorsdal, WR Isaiah Williams

Buccaneers inactives: TE Devin Culp, T Luke Goedeke, CB Josh Hayes, DL Calijah Kancey, OLB Jose Ramirez, DL Ben Stille, S Antoine Winfield Jr.
