Tampa Bay Buccaneers: At a glance

Key stats, starting lineup, injuries and schedule.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Coach: Greg Schiano

Key Stats

8 First-round picks on Tampa Bay’s roster. Guard Davin Joseph, one of those picks, is on injured reserve with a season-ending knee injury. The Panthers also have eight first-round draft choices on their roster.

23 NFL head coaches who have made a direct jump from college to the pros, as Greg Schiano is doing. Eleven finished with .500 records or better in their first season, including San Francisco’s Jim Harbaugh (13-3) in 2011.

200 Consecutive starts, after Sunday’s game, for Ronde Barber, the first 199 of which were at cornerback. Barber, 37, has moved to safety in his 16th season.

9,000 Unsold tickets for Sunday’s game as of nine days ago. The Bucs failed to sell their minimum threshold of 85 percent of nonpremium seating at Raymond James Stadium, meaning the game will be blacked out in Tampa.
