Eagles-Buccaneers free live stream (1/15): How to watch online, TV, time
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers insist they never doubted themselves. They can prove doubters wrong Monday, Jan. 15, when they play the Philadelphia Eagles. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial).
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles dominated the Bucs in Week 3, running 78 plays to Tampa Bay’s 44 and outgaining the seemingly overmatched, Brady-less Bucs 472 yards to 174 en route to a 25-11 victory.
Philadelphia rushed for 201 yards, while the Eagles kept Tampa Bay out of the end zone until early in the fourth quarter.
After the sputtering Bucs offense broke finally through, with Baker Mayfield throwing a short touchdown pass to Mike Evans and adding a 2-point conversion to trim a 22-point deficit to 14, Hurts and the Eagles’ offense took the field and held the ball for the final nine minutes of the game.
A little over three months later, the NFC South champion Bucs (9-8) relish an opportunity to make amends when the Eagles (11-6) visit Raymond James Stadium on Monday night in the final game of the NFL’s wild-card weekend.
For much of the season, it’s a rematch that didn’t figure to happen.
Philadelphia started 10-1 before losing five of six to fall all the way to the No. 5 seed. Tampa Bay, meanwhile, rebounded from a stretch in which it lost six of seven to go 5-1 over the last six weeks to win its third consecutive division title and earn the No. 4 seed.
Tampa Bay is only team in the NFC that’s made the playoffs each of the past four seasons. The culture built while Brady was with the team the past three years is one of the reasons coach Todd Bowles was confident the Bucs were capable of continued success with Mayfield at quarterback.
When is Eagles-Buccaneers?
Philadelphia and Tampa play at 7:15 p.m. (8:15 p.m. ET) on Monday, Jan. 15.
