The Buccaneers finally put a stop to their five-game losing streak when they beat the New York Jets in Week 10.

While it’s not exactly time to start predicting playoff runs or championship parades any time soon, it was nice to see this Buccaneers team leave the week with a win instead of a loss.

Now it’s on to Miami where the same Tampa roster and coaching staff will try and notch their first road win of the season.

As I’m sure you remember, this game is the match-up originally scheduled for Week 1 when Hurricane Irma decided to put a damper on both teams’ opening weekends.

The result: a Week 1 bye, and sixteen games to be played consecutively. The NFL season is a grind, and this certainly isn’t going to make things easier.

However, these guys get played lots of money and have state of the art facilities to take care of their bodies during the year. It isn’t easy, but it has to be done.

One team is going to come away with a win – really hoping we don’t have to see a tie this year – and right now I’m going to take a dive into some All-22 to see if I can pick out some things the Buccaneers might do to try and be the squad who pulls it off.
