Saturday December 24, 2016 - Away Game

LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24 New Orleans Saints 31

The Buccaneers playoff hopes took hits after a second loss in a row, this time to the New Orleans Saints.

The Tampa Bay defense was shaky, as they allowed 13 points in the first half of the game, and 18 points in the second half. This put the Buccaneers outside the playoff picture, and left them requiring victory in week 17 as well as hoping for the Washington Redskins and the Green Bay Packers to both lose. Mark Ingram scored two touchdowns, during the game, and Jameis Winston was picked off twice during the game, unlike the previous meeting of the two teams a couple weeks ago.
