The 2-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers face the 3-2 Buffalo Bills in a last dash to save their season.

Jameis Winston’s participation was in doubt for a while, but he’ll start today after suffering a sprain to his AC joint last Sunday. He participated fully in practice on Friday. The Bucs will also welcome back middle linebacker Kwon Alexander for the first time since game one—maybe he can save this defense?

Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills are having a pretty promising season. Maybe this will finally end their playoff drought? Their defense is one of the best in the league, and Tyrod Taylor and company are doing just enough to have them winning games.

The Bucs could exploit that imbalance. They’ve shown the ability to shut down opponents on defense, if they can get takeaways. And they have explosive receivers who can get open deep, just some issues connecting with them. If they can take some steps in that area of the game, they should beat the Bills—perhaps even comfortably.

Regardless, here’s everything you need to know to watch today’s game.
