Bucs hope 'small things' don't hold them back from playoffs

TAMPA, Fla. -- Despite a 27-14 loss at the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, at 4-6, are still hopeful.

Coach Todd Bowles emphasized after the Week 11 loss at Levi's Stadium that there were "no moral victories" in competing with one of the NFL's top teams, but the reality is they are only one game out of first place in the NFC South behind the New Orleans Saints (5-5).

The Bucs were able to get back in the winning column in Week 10 with a dominant win over the Tennessee Titans that snapped a four-game losing streak after a promising 3-1 start that showed the fight is still there.
