- Oct 8 Matt Lombardo (Bluesky) The success of the Bucs’ running game and Daron Bland slipping up frees Tez Johnson and all of a sudden Tampa’s in position to maybe land a dagger on this drive.
- Oct 8 Greg Auman (X) Bucs had 154 yards in the entire first half, but now have 172 on two drives in the third quarter. Irving 72-yard run and Tez Johnson 64-yard catch against a bad Cowboys defense.
- Oct 8 Greg Auman (X) Bucs strike again for another big play -- Jalon Daniels to a wide-open Tez Johnson for a 64-yard gain.

- Oct 8 Nathan Jahnke (Bluesky) Buccaneers starting skill players HB Bucky Irving WR Emeka Egbuka WR Chris Godwin Jr. WR Tez Johnson TE Cade Otton
- My initial thought is that the Bucs will just stick with five receivers on the 53. Godwin, Egbuka, Hurst and Tez Johnson will get most of the receiver snaps. Kam Johnson has really only been used on special teams. Not sure they need a sixth receiver dressed on game day. · Quoting BuckysBurner: @gregauman Wonder if they’ll bring up Patterson , he had good chemistry with Daniels
