leading Washington Redskins (5-3) visiting our beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5) who currently sit in last place in the NFC South.When you’re four games behind your division leader with three divisional games left Lavonte David Jersey , the focus has to be on winning now. Opportunities will be present in the future, and if the Bucs could take care of business at home they could very well find themselves in position to take advantage of them later down the road.According to odds makers, Tampa Bay came into this match-up favored to win by a Chandler Catanzaro field goal. This might be surprising to the casual observer, assuming a division leader would have the upper hand over a last place team. However, when you consider the Redskins are the only team atop their division which has surrendered more points than they’ve scored this season, it makes a little more sense.Five of Tampa Bay’s final eight games are at home, starting with this one. Let’s talk about how this one went down, and what it might mean for the future.For the first half of action, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense moved up and down the field at will, and stalled in scoring positions. This, of course, isn’t a new problem. On the first possession of the game, Ryan Fitzpatrick and his offense took the ball all the way down to the Washington 22-yard line. It took seven plays to move 56-yards, and then on play eight, Fitzpatrick overshot Shaun Wilson near the goal line and was intercepted by former NFC South nemesis Josh Norman.All five of the Buccaneers’ first-half possessions reached Washington territory. They ended in the interception, a punt, a missed field goal, a made field goal and finally on a middle of the field dump pass with no timeouts remaining at the end of the half.In his three first drives Authentic Chris Conte Jersey , Redskins quarterback Alex Smith had just 53-yards passing. On his final drive of the half, he had 50. And Dustin Hopkins put a field goal on the board with 20-seconds remaining in the half to give them a 6-3 lead..Fortunately, the defense held for Tampa Bay Youth Adam Humphries Jersey , and Washington was forced to settle for another Dustin Hopkins field goal, making the game a 16-3 contest with just over twelve-minutes remaining.We’ve all seen this from the Bucs this year though. They go down multiple scores, and late in the game, turn it on for a feverish comeback.
