Tampa Bay entered this short week having lost back-to-back games to slip to 3-3 for the season.
The Buccaneers made a strong start to the campaign as they won 20-17 in Minnesota and 27-17 at home to Tampa Bay.
Their perfect start was halted by a 25-11 defeat to Philadelphia, but they responded quickly to win a big division clash with New Orleans, 26-9.
Tampa Bay have not managed to follow up that victory though, with the offense stalling in back-to-back home defeats.
The Buccaneers failed to score a touchdown as they lost 20-6 to Detroit, and they then managed just one as they lost 16-13 to Atlanta.
