TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The lineup keeps changing, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers keep on winning.

Nothing went according to plan against Tennessee on Sunday, however, as a false-start penalty, a run for a loss, an interception and a fumble in the first 16 offensive snaps put Kansas City in a 27-0 deficit before halftime en route to a 27-3 loss to the Titans.

SCOREBOARD
Monday, Oct. 25
Saints at Seahawks, 8:15 p.m. EDT. New Orleans (3-2) returns from its bye coming off a victory over Washington two weeks ago. Seattle has dropped two straight after last week’s 23-20 overtime loss to Pittsburgh in its first game without quarterback Russell Wilson.
