Last Sunday was a big day for the future of the Buccaneers as they picked up their first win under head coach Dirk Koetter. The victory was Tampa Bay’s third straight over the Falcons. Now, Tampa Bay will hit the road again to square off with the defending NFC West champion Cardinals.

A missed field goal in the final minute cost Arizona a win against New England in week one. The Cardinals will be looking to avoid their first 0-2 start since 2005, while the Bucs are looking to start 2-0 for the first time since 2010. The Arizona defense will be a tough test for an improving Buccaneer offense on Sunday, but it’s a test that Koetter’s team should be ready for.

The Bucs are still finding their footing as a team, but they have plenty of impact players. The Cardinals have been consistent in the last few years, fielding a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. Here, we have five players that could change the game on Sunday.
