Who prevails in the trenches on Monday night will decide the result of the Bucs vs. Eagles Super Wild Card game. When these two teams met back in Week 3, Philadelphia dominated the front-court battles, which gave them the advantage over the clock and the victory, 25-11. Tampa Bay is committed to making sure it doesn’t occur again.
When questioned about matching up with them this week, head coach Todd Bowles stated as much. “Well, Bowles stated, we have to play better. They won the game by defeating us in the trenches and on both sides of the ball. We must prevail in the trenches if we hope to win the baseball game.
That has been a big point of emphasis for other Bucs this week with the season on the line.
In the first game, the Bucs were outmatched on both ends of the field up front, but their offensive line suffered more. With quarterback Baker Mayfield under siege and little time to locate his playmakers, the running game failed to get traction. Dave Canales, the offensive coordinator, is eager to test his offense because he is aware of the difficulty the Eagles pose on the inside.
