They've won their last two games, including a big one against the Kansas City Chiefs. But their defense still needs some work. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are another team to watch. They're 6-2 and looking like a real Super Bowl contender. Their defense is solid, and Baker Mayfield is playing well. But they need to improve their running game.
