Coming into Sunday night's game, one of two things was going to happen. Either the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would upset the Los Angeles Rams and send the NFC Playoff Picture into total chaos, or lie down and allow the Rams to take over the No. 1 seed.
The latter is what ended up happening, and now the Buccaneers have been pushed to the brink.
It's more than just an injury to Baker Mayfield, a blowout loss to a Super Bowl contender that exposed the Bucs as frauds, or the NFC South merchant allegations. Tampa Bay is in serious danger of completely falling out of the playoff picture and could head into Thanksgiving sitting in second place.
