Bill Belichick: Tampa Buccaneers will present "big challenge"

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick feels that his side will face a "big challenge" when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday.

The Patriots are currently 2-0 in their season following wins over the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets and are heavily favoured against the 0-2 Buccaneers.

However, Belichick is wary of facing Greg Schiano's side despite their poor start to the campaign.

He told reporters: "I feel like the more I've watched Tampa this week, the more impressed I've been with them.

"They do a lot of things well: well coached, play really good on defense and they did a good job against New Orleans running the ball, made some big plays in the passing game.

"[There is] a lot for us to get ready for. We have one more day here to polish it up but this will be a big challenge for us this week. It's a good football team."

The Patriots have won their last two encounters against the Buccaneers, with their last coming at Wembley in 2009.
