Sunday night was supposed to be a night of celebration for the Buccaneers, who could clinch the NFC South for the first time since 2007 with a win over the Saints in front of the home fans at Raymond James Stadium.
Instead, Tampa Bay looked absolutely hopeless on offense in what turned out to be a 9-0 shutout loss. The defense did everything it possibly could to keep the team in it, but injuries, weird decisions and poor execution piled up on the other side of the ball, meaning the Bucs will have to wait until after Christmas for another chance to win the division.
