With fantasy championship games going down all over the country, playoff match-ups were being set across the league.

Unfortunately, the Buccaneers and their players were being left out of all of it.

Week 16 for Tampa didn’t represent playoff seeding, but represented a chance to achieve a .500 record and a chance to build something to launch 2016 off of.

Bradley McDougald was a welcome performer for a defense which sacrificed over 150 yards of offense on the ground and through the air.

His 22 points provided the Bucs with yet another 20+ individual performer showing the team was good to produce and individual performer even if the team didn’t set high marks for consistent scoring.
