The Tampa Bay Buccaneers topped the Arizona Cardinals with a convincing 26-10 victory in Week 12 of the 2027 season. With playoff implications on the line, the Buccaneers solidified their position as a contender, while the Cardinals struggled to find their rhythm at home. Baker Mayfield showcased his prowess as he threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns, leading the charge for Tampa Bay's offense. Cade Otton was his favorite target, racking up 88 receiving yards and proving to be a reliable option downfield. Bucky Irving contributed significantly on the ground, adding 60 rushing yards to keep the Cardinals' defense on their toes. Defensively, the Buccaneers managed to stifle Arizona's offensive efforts, forcing them into tough situations throughout the game. The turning point came in the second quarter when Tampa Bay's defense held strong, allowing them to take control of the momentum. Despite Josh Sweat's impressive two sacks for the Cardinals, it was not enough to shift the tide, as the Buccaneers maintained their dominance and secured the win.
