New England Patriots vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers live stream: How to watch
By John Buhler
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football in Week 5. Here is how to watch this game online.
Week 5 kickoffs with an excellent game down in Tampa. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1) will host the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots (2-2). It’s a rare meeting between these two teams and even rarer that it will be on a Thursday night.
Tampa Bay enters play at 2-1 on the year. The Buccaneers had their Week 1 game against the Miami Dolphins postponed and rescheduled for Week 11 due to Hurricane Irma. Tampa Bay slaughtered the Chicago Bears in Week 2, looked lost at sea on the road against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3 and needed a Nick Folk game-winning field goal to sink the New York Giants at home in Week 4.
New England enters play at 2-2 on the year. Maybe the Patriots are the team that have a Super Bowl hangover? New England has wins over the New Orleans Saints and the Houston Texans in Weeks 2 and 3 respectively. However, the Patriots already have two home losses on the year: Week 1 versus the Kansas City Chiefs and Week 4 versus the Carolina Panthers.
