4 key plays that summed up the Buccaneers' Week 13 win over Cardinals

In a key late November matchup, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally broke their three-game losing streak and notched their seventh win of the season.

While getting back in the win column was great, things remain tight in the race for a playoff spot. Tampa Bay is just a half-game ahead of Carolina for first place in the NFC South, with two upcoming games against the Panthers remaining.

After the game Todd Bowles said he'll worry about the Panthers when the Bucs play them, and a lot can change between now and then. Sunday's victory was far from perfect for Tampa Bay -- and was rather ugly in certain spot -- but a handful of plays summed the 20-17 win over Arizona up.

Baker Mayfield's 21 yard scramble to keep the drive alive

Before the first touchdown of the game, Mayfield made a drive-saving play. On third and three, toward the end of the second quarter, Mayfield was sandwiched in between three rushers, but evaded the pressure and ran for 21 yards and a first down.

Shortly after, the Bucs found themselves in a fourth and two, but completed a five-yard pass to Sterling Shepard for a first down. These two plays keyed the first touchdown drive of the game.

Tristan Wirfs' Big Man touchdown catch

The six-year elite offensive tackle had zero career receptions entering Week 13, but that didn't matter. With just over a minute and a half left in the second quarter, Wirfs lined up as an eligible receiver, and began blocking before running out into the flat and catching his first career pass for a touchdown.

This play put the Bucs up 10, a lead they almost squandered. The first of two Tampa touchdowns on Sunday was one to remember.

Antoine Winfield's interception

After 10 plays and 73 yards, the Cardinals were knocking on the door of the end zone late in the first quarter. On a second and four from the Bucs ' 20-yard line, Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett stepped back and fired a pass that was tipped into the air, and Antoine Winfield dove and caught it.

The highlight reel play killed the Cardinals drive, and sparked energy into the Bucs stagnant offense.

Logan Hall's forced fumble

To open the second half, the Cardinals were immediately in Bucs territory. After a strong kickoff return and a 13-yard rush from Zonovan Knight, the Cardinals were on Tampa Bay's 45 yard line. On the second play from scrimmage, defensive end Logan Hall forced Knight to fumble, and safety Tykee Smith recovered it.

While the Bucs quickly went three-and-out, and failed to turn the turnover into points, this play was significant. The Cardinals were driving quickly, and had momentum out of the locker room.
