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

Unfortunately for the Bucs though, they didn't walk away with the win and that's because they totally imploded in a stunning 29-28 loss that knocked them into second place in the NFC South. The Falcons committed a franchise-record 19 penalties, they missed TWO two-point conversions in the fourth quarter, and yet, they somehow still won.

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

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Zyon McCollum was having a solid game when he was forced to exit after halftime.
