With their 28-10 road win over the Broncos last Sunday, the Buccaneers got out to a 2-1 start for the third time in the last four seasons. That win combined with the Saints’ loss to the Packers meant sole possession of first place in the NFC South for Tampa Bay after three weeks. Now, it’s all about keeping that spot, and Bruce Arians’ team will have a good chance to do so this Sunday when it hosts a banged-up Los Angeles Chargers team at Raymond James Stadium.

The Buccaneer defense will look to stay hot and the offense will look to continue progressing when Justin Herbert and Co. come into town. There’s plenty at stake, with Tampa Bay looking to start 3-1 for the first time in 2011 before heading to Chicago for a Thursday Night Football matchup. But individually, there are plenty of guys on the Bucs’ roster who are chasing history. So, let’s see where things stand heading into Week 4.
