After somewhat of a mini bye week after a Thursday night game, the Buccaneers (2-2) return to the field on Sunday in Arizona to face the Cardinals (2-3). Here, we break down five players that can change the outcome of the game.

Kicking woes and a slow offensive start cost the Buccaneers last Thursday against the Patriots. With the recent signing of Patrick Murray, the team addressed the first problem. As for the second problem, head coach Dirk Koetter has to hope his offense can come out clicking on Sunday afternoon in Arizona. The Cardinals have been hot and cold throughout their first five games, but still have some good playmakers all over the field.

The last time the Bucs were in Arizona, it was a disaster. After a longer layoff, Tampa Bay will look to bounce back from last week’s disappointing loss to New England. The Cardinals are coming off a 34-7 blowout loss to the Eagles. Both teams are hoping to rebound this Sunday in what should be a very good matchup.

The Bucs and Cardinals are in different places roster-wise. Tampa Bay is up-and-coming and hoping to contend. Arizona fields a lot of veteran talent looking for a last shot at making a Super Bowl run. Regardless, there are going to be some great athletes on the field on Sunday afternoon. Which five can most impact the game’s final score?
