Tampa Bay Buccaneers 32 Buffalo Bills 44 Sunday 16 November 2025 at Highmark Stadium
NFC SOUTH STANDINGS Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6-4 Carolina Panthers 6-5 Atlanta Falcons 3-7 New Orleans Saints 2-8
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Ian Eagle and JJ Watt
The bye week did not help improve the offensive performance as the Bucs fell to the Patriots on the back of three big New England scoring plays. Tampa Bay got starting RT Luke Goedecke back from injury but then lost LG Ben Brederson early in the game. A late touchdown pass to Tez Johnson, his second of the game gave some hope but the ensuing onside kick was recovered by the Patriots and the Bucs fell to 6-3 on the season.

GAME REPORTS Giving the reigning MVP a short field is a faulty formula for Bucs Bucs defense no match for quarterback Josh Allen, Bills Josh Allen's six touchdowns too much for Tampa Bay Scott Smith’s official game report Click here for the play-by-play and the NFL gamebook
