The Bucs made it four wins in a row with a home hammering of the inter-state rival Jaguars. Mike Evans had a pair of touchdown passes and the Bucs were 30-0 up before calling off the dogs in the fourth quarter. The defense forced four turnovers including an interception by the maligned Devin White and added four sacks whilst harrassing Trevor Lawrence the entire game until he was benched. One more win for a third straight division title.
