Three match-ups I'm most looking forward:

RT Ryan Ramczyk vs OLB Shaquil Barrett: No break for Ramczyk, he got J.J. Watt, Michael Brockers, Jadaveon Clowney, DeMarcus Lawrence and then he gets the 2019 League Leader in Sacks (9.0)! Oh baby!!!

CB Marshon Lattimore vs WR Mike Evans: This matchup already has a fiery history and I'm looking forward to seeing if Lattimore is a shut-down CB now, or if he regresses...

RB Alvin Kamara vs LB Devin White: Knew my favorite 2019 NFL Draft prospect would never fall to us, but to go to a division rival?!? Nonetheless, it'll be a great battle between Kamara and White...

Shaq Barrett concerns me, but he will be facing Armstead more than Ramczyk as he tends to come from the blind side. We need short sharp passes, screens and the running game to negate him. I say put Line in as assistance.
Our front four have been doing a great job lately and I hope it continues as we need to be in Nickel often to have a chance with Evans and Goodwin.
We should not underestimate Tampa Bay but if we can get to Winston, we will cause them problems that Russell Wilson dealt with but I don't believe Winston can.
More nervous about this game than the previous two as expectations are higher.

He's a scary fast LB and Armstead is having LARGE issues with speed rushers on his side. If we run short passes and screens as you suggest, TB and SP are developing that into a fine art at this point! I'd rather have an additional blocker, like a TE 'help' to get time. Otherwise, it's going to be a harder game than it needs to be.

The article nailed most of that correctly!

Ramz and Lattimore were definitely on their A game today.

First rounders living up to their draft status.

Impressive.
