For the fourth straight week, the Bucs played a Championship game-bound team (Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami being the others). And for the eighth straight time in the season, they lost.
Despite holding an early 14-0 lead, the Patriots rolled up over 420 yards of total offense and took control against an injury-ravaged Tampa Bay team in the second half.
