When the Buccaneers traveled to Arizona in 2016, it wasn’t a good day. This weekend, we’re all hoping for a different outcome.

For the Buccaneers and Cardinals, these are two very different franchises than when they met last season.

One is expected to be on an upward swing, while the other is starting to descend after looking like a Super Bowl contender not too long ago.

If we don’t learn from our past mistakes, we’re doomed to repeat them. So, let’s hope the Bucs players and coaches have learned from the last time they traveled to the desert.

We do our best to learn as fans though too, and every week I’ve been bringing you a film study using the coaches film from NFL Game Pass.

It’s simple really, I take a look into our next opponents’ previous week’s film and see if I can’t decipher some elements of play, scheme, or both which we can all hope to see the Buccaneers take advantage of.

This week, I focused on the Cardinals passing attack and how their defense defends the deep ball.
