Quarterback Jordan Love led the Buccaneers' offense, throwing for a touchdown and orchestrating a balanced attack. Meanwhile, Jordyn Tyson put on a show with a standout performance, racking up 107 receiving yards, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt contributed with a solid ground game, adding 52 rushing yards to keep the Ravens' defense on their toes.
