Jaguars Dominate Bucs 19-0 in Week 3 Preseason as Tampa Faces Roster-Decision Night
The Jaguars routed the Buccaneers 19-0 in Week 3 of the 2026 preseason, exposing depth issues for Tampa Bay as several players failed to deliver. QB Jalon Daniels and receivers like Dean Patterson and Kam Johnson couldn’t convert drives, while the O-line allowed multiple sacks and pressures. Linebackers Nick Jackson and John Bullock struggled in pass coverage and vs. play-action, and RB Sean Tucker’s limited pass protection continued to raise roster concerns. Special teams were a disaster, highlighted by a 63-yard punt return TD and multiple big returns that shifted field position. With cuts approaching, the Bucs have to show more to earn spots, while the Jaguars secured a convincing win to cap preseason Week 3.
