Monday Night Football Week 7: Where and How to Watch Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions, Live Stream, and Broadcast Details

The 62nd regular season meeting between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Detroit Lions promises to be a banger. Two teams that experienced different results in their previous games. While the Lions suffered a loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Buccaneers defeated the NFC West table toppers, the San Francisco 49ers.

After going behind in the second quarter through a touchdown from the 49ers running back Christian McCaffery, the Buccs crawled their way back in to secure a fifth win of the year. Quarterback Baker Mayfield threw 17 completions from 23 attempts for 256 yards (73.9% completion), 2 touchdowns, and zero interceptions. In Bucky Irving‘s absence, veteran Rachaad White rushed for 65 yards on 17 carries and scored 1 touchdown.

The Lions traveled to Arrowhead Stadium on the back of four straight wins against the Chicago Bears, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, and Cincinnati Bengals. Quarterback Jared Goff played a clean 23/29 for 203 yards and 2 touchdowns game (one TD disallowed), but still went down 17-30 to the Chiefs.

Detroit holds a 32-29 overall record over the Buccaneers. In their most recent meeting on September 15, 2024, the Bucs secured a 16-20 victory in Tampa. Mayfield had thrown 12 completions from 19 attempts for 185 yards, 2 overall touchdowns, and 1 interception. WR Chris Godwin had 7 catches for 117 yards and 1 touchdown. Goff struggled in the game.

Why can the Tampa Bay Buccaners win?

The Bucs are set to miss several of their starters, including WRs Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka. However, they just need Baker Mayfield to give another MVP-caliber performance on Monday. After six games, Mayfield has thrown 129 completions for 1539 yards, 12 touchdowns, and only 1 interception.

Why can the Detroit Lions win?

The Lions would be without their star safety Brian Branch after he picked up a suspension for punching a Chiefs player last week. Goff leads the entire league with 75.9% pass completion and has thrown 2 picks this campaign. The biggest issue for Dan Campbell is that his team has conceded 36 penalties this season. If the defense plays a flawless game, then the Lions have a great shot at winning their fifth of the campaign.
