The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will travel across the country to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12’s edition of “Sunday Night Football.”
The Buccaneers enter the week with a 6-4 record, sitting atop the NFC South. While Tampa Bay looked poised to run away with the division again, it is only a half-game ahead of the Carolina Panthers. Even with seven games left, including Sunday night against the Rams, each game becomes more important down the stretch.
The Rams are riding a five-game win streak. Los Angeles is 8-2 and leading the NFC West. The Rams are hoping to sustain the momentum from a big win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. Seattle had a chance to win it with a field goal, but the 61-yard attempt missed. Quarterback Matthew Stafford is having one of the best seasons of his career so far, throwing for 2,557 yards with 27 touchdowns and only two interceptions through 10 games.

TOUCHDOWN — Rams 28, Buccaneers 7
9:25 p.m. — Los Angeles is firing on all cylinders. After being lauded as only a short-yardage touchdown merchant, Stafford silenced his teammates’ critics, finding Adams for a 24-yard score.

TOUCHDOWN — Rams 21, Buccaneers 7
9:17 p.m. — Baker Mayfield showed how agile he is, scrambling for 16 yards on the next drive. While it helped get Tampa Bay down the field, the quarterback was taking some big hits, especially when pressured by the Rams’ defensive front. Mayfield finished the drive finding rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson for the 14-yard score. After the drive, Mayfield went into the medical tent, but came back out on the Buccaneers’ next drive.
