It’s been a while since we’ve seen the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play a meaningful game in the month of December, and this year won’t be any different as the Bucs were officially eliminated from the playoffs last Sunday when the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Detroit Lions.
But, even though Tampa Bay won’t be making a trip to the postseason for the 12th-straight year, they are riding a three-game winning-streak as they head to Detroit to face the same Lions team who ruined their playoff hopes.
The Bucs had perhaps the league’s toughest schedule in the first half of the season, playing five-straight games away from home, including one in London. But, since returning to Raymond James Stadium in Week 10, they’ve gone 4-1, with their lone loss being to the New Orleans Saints, which is nothing to be ashamed of.
Tampa Bay will unfortunately be without wide receiver Mike Evans for the rest of the year due to a hamstring injury, and quarterback Jameis Winston is dealing with a fractured thumb. Still, the red-hot Bucs are favored over the Lions on the road.
Find out how you can watch and listen to all Week 15’s action.
