The Tampa Bay Buccaneers did not receive the maximum number of prime-time matchups in 2024, but the franchise came close with four. With the club’s nucleus intact following the re-signing of Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield, Antoine Winfield Jr. and Lavonte David, the Bucs will get maximum exposure on their quest for another NFC South crown.
The NFL released its full 2024 regular-season schedule on Thursday night and the Buccaneers have several marquee matchups lining the docket: at Atlanta on Thursday Night Football in Week Five, at home against Baltimore on Monday Night Football in Week Seven, at Kansas City on Monday Night Football in Week Nine and at Dallas in Week 16. The Bucs begin their prime-time schedule with a matchup against a divisional opponent featuring a new quarterback at the helm in Kirk Cousins. The other three showdowns feature contests against 2023 division winners: Ravens in the AFC North (13-4), Cowboys in NFC East (12-5) and the reigning Super Bowl Champion Chiefs (AFC West leader, 11-6).
The Bucs travel to Atlanta and face-off against the Falcons on Thursday, October 3, with kickoff set for the Prime Video broadcast at 8:15 p.m. The Falcons finished the 2023 season with a 7-10 record for the third-consecutive season and parted ways with Arthur Smith following the year. Atlanta lost five games last season in the final minute and the club will seek redemption against a divisional foe in 2024 on Thursday Night Football.
