TAMPA, Fla. -- At 2-4 and on a three-game skid, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have dug themselves into a pretty deep hole.

Head coach Dirk Koetter acknowledged this, saying, "No one is coming to save us. We dug in. We've got to dig out."

The Bucs sit in last place in the NFC South and are two games behind the first-place New Orleans Saints, but they have an opportunity to gain ground when divisional play gets underway this weekend. The Carolina Panthers come to town, then the Bucs head off to New Orleans.
