Hard to believe the Bucs can actually finish the season at .500 if they can beat the Falcons Sunday. All credit to Bruce Arians, who has done this through a solid defense and an offense that survives Jameis Winston’s erratic play. You can get 300-plus yards weekly and multiple interceptions. That is not easy to overcome. The Bucs have had one season over .500 since 2011. In five of those seasons, they have had 10 or more losses. Arians made a good move heading to the sidelines after a year in the booth.
