TAMPA — The atmosphere inside the Buccaneers locker room late Sunday wasn’t as dour as some might think. Despite losing 25-12 to the Colts and falling back a step in the NFC playoff race, the vibe remained mostly positive.
“It was just a bad day at the office,’’ Bucs running back Doug Martin said. “The big picture is still in play for us. We just have to move on to the next game.’’
That next game is a big one. The Bucs (5-6) return to Raymond James Stadium on Sunday to play the Falcons (6-5), who are tied with the Seahawks for the NFC’s sixth and final playoff berth.
