Coming off what can only be described as a horrific misfire, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in serious need of a bounce back on Sunday.
It's not just that the Bucs need to wash the sour tase of the loss to the Lions out of their mouths, but there's a playoff picture slowing coming into focus. Tampa Bay fumbled away the No. 1 seed with last week's loss, but that's hardly the end of the story; the NFC South is starting to tighten up and the Bucs can't afford to let one bad game have a chain reaction that sets off another midseason slump.
