The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head up to Minnesota for their week three match-up versus the Vikings. Who are some Bucs to keep an eye on this week?

The Buccaneers are traveling up North this week to play an old foe in the Minnesota Vikings. Luckily for Tampa, after a solid week one performance, their team has stayed clear of serious injuries which typically pop up during most teams first contest.

So can Tampa have a repeat performance of week two? Do not hold your breath, this Vikings team may be a sleeper on just how successful they can become this season.

Know your enemy.

Whether or not Sam Bradford suits up this week is still up in the air… but Tampa will still need to figure out how to stop back-up Case Keenum. Keenum who has beaten Tampa twice already in his stint with the Rams has proved that he is more than capable to take down the Bucs. Just in 2015 Keenum posted a 158.0 passer rating against then Head Coach Lovie Smith’s lowly defensive system.

Let us not to forget to mention that the Bucs will need to deal with the NFL’s third leading rusher in Dalvin Cook (relax FSU fans).

The defense seems to have their hands full this week, so just who should fans keep an eye on this week to stop this Vikings team?
