Buccaneers vs. St. Louis Rams 
LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23 St. Louis Rams 31
The Buccaneers endured the scurvy with a rash of penalties and big-plays given up via defensive turnovers.
Rams Case Keenum threw for 234 yards and two touchdowns for St. Louis on Thursday Night Football. The Rams jumped out to a 28-6 lead after three quarters.
Buccaneers Jameis Winston rallied Tampa Bay with a career high 363 yards passing, and threw two touchdown passes to trim the deficit to 31-23 with 1:34 left in regulation. An onside kick attempt failed, and the Rams ran out the clock to secure the victory.
The loss ended the Buccaneers slim chance of a wild-card placement and was our third consecutive loss on a prime-time Thursday night televised game.
It was the final home game for the Rams in St. Louis, as the team is relocating back to Los Angeles for the 2016 season.
