Tampa Bay Buccaneers 33 Buffalo Bills 27
Sunday 12 December 2021 at Raymond James Stadium
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Jim Nantz and Tony Romo
The Bucs went to 10-3 and won their fourth game in a row but
it was way too close and needed a 58-yard scoring pass from
Tom Brady to Breshad Perrinan in overtime to see off the Bills.
Buffalo came back from a 24-3 half-time deficit and scored 17
unanswered fourth quarter points. But the Tampa defense
stiffened late and in overtime to allow the late heroics.
