Tampa Bay Buccaneers 12  Baltimore Ravens 20 Sunday 16 December 2018        at M&T Bank Stadium
The Bucs were run over figuratively and literally in Baltimore as the Ravens piled up 242 yards rushing on a wet afternoon.   The Tampa offense could not even reach that number in total offense and outside of one long pass from Jameis Winston to Mike Evans, big plays were almost non-existent.  Any slim playoff chances evaporated with this loss and at 5-9, yet another losing season was confirmed for the Buccaneers.
