Just when it looked like the they might wilt in the desert for a second straight year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers put together one of the most remarkable comeback attempts in franchise history.
Despite scoring 33 of the game's final 40 points, the Buccaneers lost to the Arizona Cardinals, 38-33, on Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium. The comeback attempt, led by reserve quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick after a second-quarter injury to Jameis Winston, including a 27-point fourth period, the highest-scoring quarter ever for the Buccaneers. It wasn't enough to rally past a 24-0 halftime deficit that became 31-0 early in the third quarter.
