Now that they’re back on top of the NFC South, the challenge for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is to stay there.

The struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers keep wasting opportunities to take control of the woeful NFC South. “It feels like we’re 10 games out, and we’re one game out,” Bowles added. It’s the second week in a row the Bucs have been unable to pick up ground in a race Tampa Bay is trying to win for the third straight season.
