The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won't have much time to dwell on last week's deflating loss, as they'll have to turn around on a short week and head out on the road to face the St. Louis Rams in front of a national audience on Thursday.
After dropping last week's home contest to the New Orleans Saints, the Bucs now need a miracle to get into the playoffs. The first step toward making that miracle a reality would be beating the Rams, who are 5-8 and coming off a 21-14 win over the Chicago Bears last week.
