– The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to the Buffalo Bills by a final score of 44-32 and are now 6-4 on the season. The Buccaneers remain in sole possession of first place in the NFC South division.

– The Buccaneers rushed for a season high 202 yards – their most since posting that same total in the Week 17 win over the Carolina Panthers in 2024. The team’s +105 rushing margin was also its best since Week 17 of the 2024 season. In the first half alone, Tampa Bay tallied 136 rushing yards, which marked the Buccaneers’ most in an...

Dread it. Run from it. The Buccaneers’ mid-season slump arrives all the same.

For the fourth season in a row, the Buccaneers are staring down the very real possibility of a three-game losing slump in the middle of the year, as they dropped their second consecutive game Sunday and third in the last four as the Bills rammed through them, 44-32.

The defense was, quite simply, dreadful outside of causing two turnovers, allowing the most points a Todd Bowles defense ever has in seven seasons as defensive coordinator / head coach. This came despite the Bucs’ offense generating its best...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Buffalo Bills this weekend, but they kept their playoff position. Tampa remains fourth in the NFC.

The Carolina Panthers are knocking on the door, however, and sit a half-game behind Tampa for the top spot in the division.

The biggest games in the NFC playoff picture have yet to happen on Sunday, as huge late-window games for the Seattle Seahawks San Francisco 49ers, and Los Angeles Rams still await with the Sunday night game between the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles.

First Quarter:

Receiving the ball first, the Buccaneers’ offense pieced together a very promising opening drive. A week ago, against New England Tampa’s debut possession was one of the only positives from the game’s early stages— The Bucs’ scripted plays took them to them to end zone for an Emeka Egbuka touchdown, before a flounder offense began looking lost. This week, Tampa once again came out guns blazing. A strong run game escorted Tampa into striking distance, though a failed third down, combined with game-altering weather conditions led them to a punt. Punts aren’t known for leading to points,...

Predictions

Offense

Tampa Bay’s offense has been very inconsistent. With no Bucky Irving and no Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay still isn’t mustering enough juice on offense to put teams away. But there could be some potential positives in this game for the Bucs. The Bills give up 147...

An ugly afternoon played out in the skies and on the field as the Buccaneers squandered several opportunities to trump a red-hot Patriots team.

The offense looked slightly better compared to the prior two games, as you’d hope out of a bye, but it still wasn’t good enough, while the defense allowed an unacceptable number of splash plays to put the game out of reach in a 28-23 defeat.

It’s clear the lack of horses on offense is simply hamstringing Baker Mayfield and offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard, the latter of whom has struggled adapting in response to how defenses have...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the New England Patriots on Sunday, and that has dropped them down the NFC playoff standings for the time being. The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles play on Monday night, and presumably one of them will lose.

The Seattle Seahawks play later on Sunday.

In the wild card race, the Chicago Bears won in the early window, but lots of games are still in play. The Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Rams, and San Francisco 49ers all play in the late window.

First Quarter:

Tampa Bay’s ball first, Tampa Bay’s touchdown first. The Buccaneers took less than four minutes to maneuverer their way down the field and into the end zone. Baker Mayfield, coming off back-to-back subpar outings got the ball rolling early and rolled that ball to now healthy again wide receiver Emeka Egbuka— Two of Baker’s three completions, 45 yards, and a six-point score. 7-0, Buccaneers.

Tampa’s offense set the bar high and the team’s defense maintained the standard. Drake Maye and the Patriots’ offense were able to convert a fourth down on their opening drive, however, the drive...
