The New York Jets topped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28-18 in a Week 3 matchup that showcased the Jets' offensive firepower and solidified their standing early in the 2027 season. With this victory, New York improves to a promising start, while the Buccaneers will be looking to regroup after a tough outing at home. Tyler Shough led the Jets with a pair of touchdown passes, effectively spreading the ball around while keeping the offense in rhythm. David Montgomery was a force on the ground, racking up 131 rushing yards and providing a balanced attack that kept the Buccaneers' defense guessing. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay's Josh Allen threw for 271 yards, but struggled to find the end zone, limiting his team’s scoring opportunities. Defensively, the Jets made key plays when it mattered most, with Josiah Trotter recording two sacks that disrupted Tampa Bay’s offensive flow. Jamel Dean's six tackles helped contain the Buccaneers' passing game, especially during critical downs. The turning point came late in the third quarter when the Jets' defense stifled a drive, allowing New York to maintain control and ultimately secure the win.
