Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 Tennesse Titans 6 Sunday 12 November 2023 at Raymond James Stadium

CBS COMMENTARY CREW Andrew Catalon, Tiki Barker and Matt Ryan

NFC SOUTH STANDINGS New Orleans Saints 5-5 Atlanta Falcons 4-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4-5 Carolina Panthers 1-9

The Bucs broke their four-game losing streak with a solid defensive effort and enough offensive ball control to beat the Titans on a hot afternoon in Tampa. Rachaad White scored on a screen pass as good as Warrick Dunn’s 1997 one against Miami and Mike Evans emulated Mike Alstott when he barrelled into the endzone with defenders on his back after catching a ball inside the 10-yard line. Antoine Winfield had an interception and the defense had four sacks.
