After a dramatic comeback win in Week 13, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were riding a wave of momentum toward a potential playoff push in the final quarter of the season.
But those hopes came to a crashing halt on Sunday, as the Bucs fell at home 24-17 to the New Orleans Saints, shrinking their playoff chances considerably with just three games left in the regular season.
The defense struggled for most of the first half, but it was the offense's inability to move the ball against the league's worst defense that proved to be Tampa Bay's biggest failure on Sunday.
