A high-stakes NFC clash ignites in the Pacific Northwest as the four-time defending NFC South champion Buccaneers battle the Seahawks under the prime-time lights. Baker Mayfield’s aerial assault—featuring Mike Evans’ red-zone dominance and rookie Emeka Egbuka’s explosive speed—faces a stern test against Seattle’s revamped secondary, anchored by lockdown corner Tariq Woolen. Tactical intrigue abounds: Tampa’s league-leading third-down efficiency collides with Seattle’s relentless pass rush (NFL-high 56 sacks in 2024), while Leonard Fournette’s power runs aim to exploit the Seahawks’ run defense vulnerabilities. With playoff implications looming, every snap at the deafening Lumen Field could tilt the NFC hierarchy.
