Bucs with Bowles: What Todd Bowles Is Saying After Starting Season 0-2

Todd Bowles said the 0-2 Buccaneers are focused on fixing mistakes and beating the Vikings after Baker Mayfield's turnover-filled start.

  • On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to 0-2 after losing 23-19 to the Cleveland Browns at Raymond James Stadium, marking their first 0-2 start since 2014.
  • The Buccaneers' struggles extend beyond this season: Tampa Bay is 2-9 since last year's 6-2 start, and since Week 8 of 2025, the Bucs rank 3-10 with only Washington, Arizona and Tennessee performing worse.
  • Quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 21 of 34 passes for 182 yards with one touchdown and one interception while taking three sacks; he has accumulated 28 interceptions and 27 fumbles since 2024.
  • Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that losing two games doesn't determine the remaining 15-game stretch, as the Minnesota Vikings visit Raymond James this week after shutting down Chicago 9-3.
  • The biggest issue has been Bowles' inability to prepare the team through two weeks, though Mayfield acknowledged the problems are fixable, as observers note the clock is ticking on his tenure.
