For the seventh time in eight games, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were masters of their own demise. The team has been in control of its own playoff destiny all season and has had a clear path to clinch since Week 14, but once again, the season will come down to the final game.
Everything has fallen exactly into place for the Bucs to have clinched with a week to spare, but the team hasn't been able to stay out of its own way. Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins might have been the most sour of the bunch because it's the one that shouldn't have happened.
