Football fans in Florida have had a rough start to the season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins have combined for a record of 3-12 in the first four weeks of the season. The Dolphins have already fired their head coach and Tampa Bay and Jacksonville's football bosses could follow suit.
However, on Sunday, the Jaguars and Buccaneers will battle in a game that could potentially save the winner's season. Former Florida quarterback Jameis Winston will look to turn around the Buccaneers luck at home, while the Jaguars will look to secure the team's ninth win in three seasons.
