How sweet it is. How sour it could have been.

If the Bucs hadn’t rallied from that 17-0 halftime deficit in Atlanta, they’d be clinging to a one-game wild-card lead over Chicago with two weeks remaining, knowing the Bears own the head-to-head tie-breaker.

That scenario would have led to a very nervous Christmas week for Tampa Bay fans.

It didn’t happen because Tom Brady threw for 320 yards in the final two quarters and Devin White provided a pass rush that was woeful for most of the afternoon. Another lousy start, another frantic finish.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Buc Ball 2020. [read more]
