The Buccaneers needed to bounce back from their embarrassing loss to the Saints in week 15, but instead of getting the job done, they lost again, this time against the Falcons.

The Seahawks had to fight harder than expected to beat the Falcons. The first half from the offense was clearly below expectations, but the second half offered legitimate reasons to believe this unit can return to being productive. Adding even more value to the result is the fact that Atlanta had just beaten the Buccaneers […]
