In a tightly contested matchup, the Arizona Cardinals topped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-13 in Week 3 of the 2028 season. This victory gives the Cardinals a crucial boost as they seek to establish their dominance in the league early on. The loss leaves the Buccaneers looking for answers as they aim to regroup and find their footing. Baker Mayfield led the Buccaneers with 245 passing yards, showcasing his ability to move the ball through the air. However, it was Ted Hurst III who stole the spotlight receiving, racking up 101 yards and providing Mayfield with a reliable target. On the ground, Kalel Mullings contributed significantly to the Cardinals' effort with 63 rushing yards, helping to balance the offensive attack and keep the Buccaneers' defense guessing. The turning point of the game came in the fourth quarter when Tyson Campbell intercepted Mayfield, shifting the momentum firmly in Arizona's favor. Kitan Crawford's defensive prowess was also on display, as he recorded eight total tackles, helping to stifle the Buccaneers' offensive drives. With Josiah Trotter adding a sack for Tampa Bay, both defenses made their presence felt, but it was the Cardinals' ability to capitalize on opportunities that ultimately sealed their victory.
