The 2023-24 NFL season reaches its halfway point with tonight’s Thursday Night Football on Prime Video.
The Week 8 TNF match up (airing October 26) will see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-3) head up north to take on the Buffalo Bills (4-3).
Both teams are currently sitting at second place in their respective divisions (AFC East for Buffalo, NFC South for Tampa Bay) and they’re both coming into tonight’s game off Week 7 losses.
The Bills comeback effort during their Week 7 game against the Patriots was thwarted during the last minutes of the game thanks to a Mac Jones touchdown pass that put the Pats at 29 points to Buffalo’s 25.
The Bucs are hoping to turn things around after losing two straight to the Lions in Week 6 and the Falcons in Week 7.

What to expect from tonight’s game:
The last time these two teams met, Tom Brady was still playing QB for the Bucs and they were a much more dominant team than the Bills, who topped the AFC East for three straight years beginning in the 2020-21 season.
Now, they’ll meet at a crucial point in both of their seasons as both teams are hoping to break through midseason slumps.
Despite his questionable status due to a knee injury as recently as yesterday, Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is good to go for tonight’s game. Bucs WR Chris Godwin was also sidelined with a neck injury, but should also play in tonight’s game — with good timing, since the Buccaneers offense will have to be at the top of their game against the Bills’ top-rated defense.
