The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ win streak is over after a brutal 26-24 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night The destiny they once controlled is gone and their path to a fourth straight NFC South title has become muddied. The Bucs now must win out and hope the Falcons lose a game in order to clinch the division and or even catch a wild card spot.

With their first loss in four games, how they bounce back against a Panthers team that has played good football, will be paramount to how the season will end. After calling the Bucs “the team no one wants to face” last week, things have cooled off. See where the national media has ranked the Bucs ahead of Week 17.

“Despite not even technically being the No. 1 running back on his own team — and being hampered by a toe, hip and back injuries — Irving’s 1,240 scrimmage yards are the most of any Bucs player and the most of any rookie. The fourth-rounder ranks 19th in scrimmage yards and 16th among all running backs. Irving has shown an exceptional ability to slip tackles. His forced missed tackle rate of 36.8% is the highest among all players with at least 50 touches. — Jenna Laine”Last
