The Los Angeles Rams are set to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night, with the Rams looking to extend their winning streak to six games. The teams have a rich history, with the Rams leading the series 19-10. However, the Buccaneers have been on the rise, with a 5-5 record against the spread and a recent win over the Bills. The Buccaneers' offense has been led by quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has thrown 17 touchdown passes and only three interceptions. Running back Sean Tucker has been a key contributor, averaging 4.6 yards per carry and helping the team overcome injuries at the position. The Rams, meanwhile, have been fueled by quarterback Matthew Stafford's incredible form, with 27 touchdown passes and no interceptions over his past seven games. Wide receiver Davante Adams has also been on fire, catching a touchdown pass in four straight games. The matchup between Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and Rams cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. is one to watch, with Egbuka leading all rookies with six touchdown catches and Forbes looking to continue his development in his first full season in the NFL. The Rams have been dealing with injuries, including the loss of safety Quentin Lake, tight end Tyler Higbee, and right tackle Rob Havenstein. However, they have been able to adapt, with a committee approach at tight end and a strong run game. The Buccaneers, on the other hand, are missing several key players, including wide receivers Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan, outside linebacker Haason Reddick, and left guard Ben Bredeson. However, they have shown resilience, scoring the final 10 points in a win over the Rams last season. The Rams have a strong history against the Buccaneers, with an 8-2 record in their past 10 meetings. However, the Buccaneers have been a force to be reckoned with, particularly on the ground, with a season-high 202 yards rushing last week. The stage is set for an exciting showdown between two of the NFL's top teams, with the Rams looking to extend their winning streak and the Buccaneers seeking to bounce back from a tough loss.
