The Lions regained the lead with a touchdown run by rookie Jahmyr Gibbs. Goff sealed the victory with a perfectly placed pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown. Mayfield did his best to keep the Buccaneers in the game, but a late interception by Derrick Barnes secured the win for the Lions. Goff finished with 287 passing yards and two touchdowns, while Mayfield had 349 passing yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions.
