Two Losses, a Showdown in the South Begins

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9) took on the Miami Dolphins (7-9) on Sunday, and found themselves in yet another disappointing loss. While the Carolina Panthers (8-8) take a loss against a strong Seattle team, they were unable to wrap up the division. As the division is slipping out of Buccaneers fingers, they find themselves with a final showdown matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 18.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been plagued with injuries and disappointments as their control on the division is surprisingly threatened by a rising Carolina Panthers team. As they have been getting certain players back from injuries, the expectation has been for Tampa to play as a playoff contender; but, they have proven vulnerable to lose to any team. With a tough matchup for a playoff spot, can the Buccaneers put together a game?
