The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are riding high after a 2-0 start with a couple of last-minute game-winning drives on the road, with the latest coming on Monday night in Houston in a 20-19 win. The Bucs finally open up at home, and they do so against an 0-2 New York Jets team that comes in beat up and with a defense that’s been leakier than we’re used to seeing from them.

It’s a terrific opportunity for the Bucs to be able to continue a strong start to the season, but naturally, the question for many fans around the country is: will I be able to see it on TV?

For fans in the state of Florida and parts of the Northeast, the answer is yes, per 506 Sports. Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma, who were on the call for the Bucs’ opener against Atlanta, will handle the broadcasting duties here for FOX.

The game will be shown through all of the state of Florida with the exception of the western portion of the panhandle, and the coverage will leak into parts of southern Georgia as well. In the Northeast, all of New Jersey, and parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Vermont, and New Hampshire will get the game locally.

What to watch for with Bucs and Jets in Week 3

The Bucs’ defense has been playing well as a group through the first two weeks, holding Atlanta and Houston to 20 and 19 points. It’s been a situation where they’ve allowed opening drive touchdowns but settled in and were tough in stretches for much of both games. That task will be tougher now with DL Calijah Kancey suffering a season-ending torn pectoral injury against the Texans.

However, the Jets aren’t fully healthy themselves, particularly at the game’s most important position. QB Justin Fields is dealing with a concussion that could keep him out on Sunday. If he can’t go, Tyrod Taylor would draw the start.

The Jets certainly have the talent, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, but they’ve struggled through two weeks, allowing 34 and 30 points to the Steelers and Bills, respectively. The Bucs’ offense hasn’t missed a beat thus far with Josh Grizzard calling the shots, and the rushing attack showed to be particularly effective against Houston on Monday.

We’ll find out at 1 pm ET on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium if the Bucs keep their early winning ways going.

Update (12:30 pm ET): Fields has been ruled out for Sunday’s game, so the Bucs will face Taylor.
