Another week, another embarrassing loss for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who followed up a blowout against the San Francisco 49ers by squandering a 17-point lead and giving up 34 straight points Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Despite those back-to-back crushing defeats, the Bucs remain in first place in the dismal NFC South, and still control their destiny to be the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoffs with three games left in the regular season.
Tampa Bay could even lose this week’s game against the Arizona Cardinals and still win the division by beating the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons to close out the year.
