Buccaneers vs. Seattle Seahawks

WON - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14 Seattle Seahawks 05

Coming into a game where Seattle was highly favored to win, Tampa Bay Buccaneers earned their third straight win in impressive fashion.

After scoring two Winston to Evans touchdowns in the first quarter, the defense held up and didn't allow any offensive touchdowns. The only points scored against them were a safety after a holding call in the endzone and a Seattle field goal. The defense also held Seattle to just one 3rd down conversion on 11 attempts, with the sole conversion coming in the 4th quarter.

Seattle QB Russell Wilson was sacked six times and two of his passes were intercepted, one of those interceptions coming from CB Alterraun Verner. With this upset win, the Bucs moved over .500 for the first time through 11 games since 2012, and sits a half a game behind the final wildcard spot.
