Overview

• Fangio praised Mayfield's play and questioned why previous teams moved on from him, noting the quarterback's 11 scrambles for roughly 120 yards this season.
• Tampa Bay hosts Philadelphia on Sunday in a meeting of two of the NFL's six undefeated teams after three weeks, one year after the Buccaneers beat the Eagles 33-16 before Philadelphia went 19-1 the rest of the way.
• Key Buccaneers losses include Mike Evans out with a hamstring injury, Ko Kieft to season-ending injured reserve, Cody Mauch out for the year, and Luke Goedeke on injured reserve.
• Tristan Wirfs and Chris Godwin are described as nearing returns, with Tampa Bay having shifted Graham Barton to left tackle and Ben Bredeson to center in Wirfs' absence.
• Mayfield was limited in Wednesday's practice with a sore biceps on his throwing arm, though both he and the team expressed respect for Fangio ahead of the matchup.
