An NFC South battle on "Thursday Night Football" looks a little different than usual. Here's the story behind the Buccaneers' jerseys.

Coming off the Thursday Night Football loss at home to the Atlanta Falcons, Tampa Bay has dropped from 6-2 to 7-7 and put the Carolina Panthers in the driver’s seat to win the NFC South. Meanwhile, the head coach blamed the “ inexcusable ” loss on the players all at a time when the sentiment about him in the locker room seems to be souring.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers shed the “Yuccaneers” label decades ago. They went from 0-26 to two-time Super Bowl champions and currently are four-time defending NFC South champs.

The Buccaneers are in danger of losing the NFC South for the first time since 2020. Here's a look at their latest playoff odds and remaining schedule.

The New York Giants made a small tweak to their 53-man roster late on Thursday, claiming wide receiver Ryan Miller off of waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 25-year-old Miller signed with the Bucs as a rookie free agent out of Furman following the 2023 NFL draft and split time between their active roster and practice squad until being waived on Wednesday.

The Atlanta Falcons have rallied for a 29-28 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kirk Cousins threw three touchdown passes to Kyle Pitts Sr., and Zane Gonzalez kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired.

The Buccaneers collapsed and lost to their NFC South rivals on "TNF." The head coach's message to the team was full of colorful language.

The Buccaneers fell to 7-7, a half-game behind the Carolina Panthers in the NFC South. It has been a tough time for Cousins, who was benched last season and lost his job. He got it back due to a season-ending knee injury to Penix. He had been written off at age 37. But for one night at least, the Falcons looked smart for keeping him on the roster.
