Morning Brew: Bucs Struggling Now, But Easiest Schedule Remains So Be Prepared to See Them in January

Nov 24, 2025

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost again on Sunday night, losing 34-7 to the Los Angeles Rams. They're now 6-5 and tied with the Carolina Panthers for the NFC South lead, pending Monday night's result.

Bucs QB Baker Mayfield went down with a left shoulder injury, and the Bucs have lost three straight. They've also played the toughest schedule in the NFL so far, according to TeamRankings.com, and they now have the EASIEST schedule to finish. It's very likely they'll win the division again, and be a pain in the butt to some playoff team like the 49ers in January.

Here's the story from Roundtable Sports National Editor-in-Chief Tom Brew.

The injury-riddled Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost quarterback Baker Mayfield to a shoulder injury in a 34-7 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and they've now lost four of five games — but to the best teams in the league. They are 6-5 now, but have the easiest schedule in the league going forward.
