Cincinnati Bengals vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Start Time, TV Channel, Live

In front of its home crowd on Monday Night Football, the Buccaneers would appear to be more motivated to earn a victory.

For the Bucs, 21-year-old rookie Jameis Winston – the overall Number One pick in this year’s NFL draft – will try to find a rhythm after an inconsistent outing in his first preseason game when Tampa Bay fell to the Minnesota Vikings 26-16.

“Having family here seeing my first game was definitely special”, McCarron said, “and, hopefully, we’ve got more to come”.

Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton struggled, finishing 6-of-13 for 46 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Building a rhythm on the field between Winston and his best downfield options is important in the preseason – they’ve shown chemistry in practice, but it’s a bigger step to get on the same page in a game. The Bucs are favored by about a field goal and that tells us all we need to know. Running back Jeremy Hill carried twice on the 6-play, 52-yard march, gaining 15 yards.

Cincinnati’s defense stopped an 89-yard drive by Tampa Bay on downs at the Bengals’ 1-yard line.

The NFL Network will be offering Cincinnati Bengals vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers online streaming replay at 1 AM EST, should you have a cable subscription with access to NFL Network. The Bengals held the Giants to just 3.8 yards per play in last week’s win and allowed just 118 yard through the air.

The first team offense for both teams should offer more action this evening showdown. James Wilder Jr. had 14 carries for 53 yards and a touchdown on the ground, while Greg Little was the team’s top receiver with three receptions and 65 yards. The service streams preseason games live, but will offer regular season games only on a “replay on demand” basis, and offers a seven-day free trial that can be canceled after the game. Rookie and the No. pick quarterback completed 9 of 19 passes for 131 yards while Mike Glennon threw for 98 yards in 9-for-17 passes. That possession, the opening series of the third quarter, ended as a three-and-out, with McCarron’s only pass going incomplete on third down.

The Bengals chose to sit a host of injured players, notably cornerback Darqueze Dennard (groin), defensive tackle Pat Sims (thigh), offensive lineman Jake Fisher (undisclosed) and right tackle Andre Smith (undisclosed).
