The Tampa Bay Buccaneers take their 6-3 record to Buffalo in Week 11 to play the 6-3 Bills. The game is scheduled for Sunday, November 16 at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, New York, with kickoff set for 1:00 p.m. The Buccaneers are looking for their first win ever in Buffalo, in just their fourth regular-season trip to Western New York. Tampa Bay is in first place in the NFC South by a game and a half over Carolina while the Bills trail the New England Patriots in the AFC East by the same margin.
Here are some additional numbers to know about the state of the Buccaneers and their 10th game of the 2025 campaign:
6
The number of different starting offensive line combinations the Buccaneers have utilized through nine games so far this season. That number could increase to seven this weekend in Buffalo if the hamstring strain suffered by starting left guard Ben Bredeson keeps him out of action.
8.00
Baker Mayfield's touchdown/interception ratio after he threw three touchdown passes and was not picked off in Week 10 against the Patriots in Week 10. That ratio is tied for the fourth-best in the NFL through 10 weeks. The Buccaneers' five giveaways overall represent the lowest total ever for the franchise through the first nine games of a season.
10
The combined touchdown total for 2025 draft picks Emeka Egbuka (6) and Tez Johnson (4). The Buccaneers have the most touchdown receptions by rookies of any team in the NFL this season.
74
Tykee Smith's tackle total in 2025, which leads the team and is the most by any defensive back in the NFL this season. Smith also secured his first interception of the season in Week 10 against the Patriots and is the only player in the NFL with at least 60 tackles and nine or more passes defensed.
80.0%
The Buccaneers' win percentage in road games this season, as they have won four of five away games so far. Four of those five games were played in domed stadiums, but the one road game the team has played so far outdoors resulted in a rousing 38-35 shootout win over the Seattle Seahawks, one of the top contenders in the NFC.
100.8
The average number of rushing yards surrendered by Tampa Bay's defense in 2025, which moved above 100 for the first time this season after the Patriots ran for 166 yards against it in Week 10. This week, the Bucs will take on the NFL's top-ranked rushing attack, as the Bills are averaging 153.2 yards per game on the ground this season.
319
Cade Otton's receiving yards since Week Five, the fifth most among NFL tight ends in that span even though it includes the Buccaneers' bye week. As was the case when both Mike Evans and Cade Otton were injured at the same time last season, Otton has taken on a much bigger role in the passing game with those two out again in 2025.
