Somehow on Christmas Day the Buccaneers won another game. It took a 10-point fourth quarter comeback against
a 4-11 team playing its third string QB but they remained a game ahead in the terrible NFC South. They lost another
offensive lineman and the offense was down to even quicker short passes than normal but they found a way. It will
go down as another Tom Brady comeback victory but this was not exactly one for the ages.
