The Bucs received the ball to start the game, as usual, and quickly moved down the field. The drive was stopped short inside the 10 but the Bucs wouldn't come up empty. Kicker Matt Gay put the first points on the board with a 22-yard field goal, giving the Bucs an early 3-0 lead.

On the first defensive series, newly activated outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul, returning from an offseason neck injury, sacked Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill for a loss of four yards. It would ultimately force Tennessee to punt, putting that ball back into the Bucs' hands with 10 minutes to go in the first quarter.

Unfortunately, the next series resulted in a turnover as quarterback Jameis Winston fumbled at the 10-yard line, putting the Tampa Bay defense in a little bit of a predicament. After a neutral zone infraction that moved the Titans up to the five-yard line, Tannehill connected with tight end Jonnu Smith for the touchdown, putting Tennessee up 7-3.

A two-point try was no good after so Tampa Bay went into halftime trailing just 17-15 after a very up-and-down first half.

The second half started out with a bang for the Bucs, too. Tennessee received the ball and started their drive before a forced fumble by safety Andrew Adams and subsequent recovery by cornerback Vernon Hargreaves gave Tampa Bay the ball back almost immediately.
