Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24 Los Angeles Rams 34
Sunday 26 September 2021 at SoFi Stadium
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Joe Buck and Troy Aikman
The Bucs lost their first game in 10 months as Matthew Stafford
threw four TD passes and the Ram defense kept the Bucs
under enough control to move their own record to 3-0. This
ended Tampa Bay’s six game regular season win streak dating
back to 2020. Tom Brady passed for over 400 yards but the
defense had just one sack and forced no turnovers.
