Bucs vs. Jets: Most Impressive In Week 3

And as we've come to learn with Mayfield, he can get the job done running the football as well. He had a great scramble on third down throwing in a pump fake where he was behind the line of scrimmage, but it still fooled the defender, and he got the first down. His 33-yard sideline run at the end of the game sealed the deal, too. Mayfield was typical Mayfield in the win.

S Antoine Winfield Jr.

Antoine Winfield Jr. was responsible for forcing the Bucs' first turnover of the season. Winfield blitzed off of the right side and knocked the ball out of the hands of quarterback Tyrod Taylor, creating a strip sack that was picked up by Vita Vea. Winfield was flying around and made an important impact play.

WR Emeka Egbuka

Coming into the game banged up, Egbuka made a sensational one-handed catch down the field with Jets corner Sauce Gardner in coverage. It created a spark for the offense, who had not yet scored a touchdown and were facing a second and long. Tampa Bay went to Egbuka on the very next play for an eight-yard gain as the Bucs got in rhythm. Egbuka was also huge for the offense in the second half making two catches on third down that extended their drives. His big catch at the end of the game set the Bucs up for the game winning field goal.

OLB Haason Reddick 

It's the start of the revenge tour for Haason Reddick and he came up big with a tackle on fourth-and-1. The Jets attempted to go for it right before midfield, running it with big backup running back Braelon Allen but Reddick was right there to make the stop and get the ball back to Tampa Bay.

CB Jacob Parrish 

What a home opener it was for Jacob Parrish. He had a good day in coverage against Jets receivers and also recorded his first career NFL sack blitzing off the right side and taking down Taylor on the play. Parrish looks so comfortable in the nickel position and consistently makes plays for the defense.

WR Sterling Shepard

Sterling Shepard has become Mr. 3rd down for Tampa Bay. Baker Mayfield found him early on a third down to keep Tampa Bay's drive going. They then went back to Shepard on a screen play that got the Bucs inside the goal line, leading to a Mike Evans touchdown and the Bucs' first time reaching the end zone on the season. Shepard's catches on the final drive helped set up the Bucs for the win.

K Chase McLaughlin 

All eyes were on Chase McLaughlin after a shaky start to his season, but he prevailed several times in this game, including a 54-yarder for the first points of the game. Then McLaughlin proved he can still make kicks when they count, nailing the game winner as time expired to finish five of six on his field goal attempts and making all of his extra points.

Bucs Run Defense

It was the Bucs' first game without Calijah Kancey going against a Jets team that certainly wanted to run the ball. New York has a great running back with Breece Hall and the Bucs stifled him in the ground game all day long. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor was able to run around for a bit, but when it came to designed runs by Hall and Braelon Allen, they got the job done. The Bucs only allowed 51 rushing yards to the Jets' two back system.
