Things could be better for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they prepare to host the New York Giants for Monday Night Football in Week 11.
Three weeks ago the Bucs were 6-1 and in control of their destiny despite the fact they’d suffered so many injuries, especially on the defensive side of things.
Now, after two losses and a bye week, the 6-3 Buccaneers are sitting in fourth place in the NFC Playoff race, and have just a one-game lead in the NFC South Division.
Still, the odds are pretty good Tampa Bay will make the postseason and have a chance to defend their Super Bowl title.
