The Bucs took it down to the wire but they were able to secure a win and as a result we now get to disect the game.

In addition to McCollum, linebacker Antonio Grier Jr. and cornerback Kindle Vildor nabbed interceptions, bringing the Buccaneers' preseason total to a league-leading six picks. The Tampa Bay defense showed their knack for getting to the football in Preseason Week Two.

Their timely takeaways were pivotal in building and preserving the lead. Chris Braswell also made a game-changing impact with a sack in key moments, reinforcing the defense’s disruptive presence. The team's six interceptions are the most by any team in the preseason.
