Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Adam Humphries came up with a ridiculous touchdown grab on a tipped pass from quarterback Jameis Winston by the Dallas Cowboys secondary.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were down 17-6 to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Tampa Bay had struggled to generate any sort of offense against the Cowboys defense for the entire first half.

Earlier in the second half, quarterback Jameis Winston would heave the ball into double coverage near the Dallas end zone. Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries would catch the tipped pass for an amazing juggling touchdown for Tampa Bay.

It was a gamble that ultimately panned out for the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay would decrease its deficit to the Cowboys to only 17-13 after the made Roberto Aguayo PAT.

The Buccaneers have leaned heavily on the defense of Mike Smith, but needed a big play from the offense to keep pace with the Dallas rushing attack. Tampa Bay needs to win on Sunday Night Football to keep pace with the rival Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South standings.

The Buccaneers entered Week 15 with an 8-5 record, but did not have the tiebreaker over the Falcons. They split their season series with the away team winning both games. Atlanta has had a better record against common opponents thus far this season, as both the Falcons and Buccaneers are tied in NFC South play at 3-1.

A win for Tampa Bay on Sunday Night Football would mean that the NFC South is likely to get both contending teams into the NFC Playoffs. The New York Giants and Dallas are almost certainly in out of the NFC East. The Wild Card comes down to the NFC South rivals and really the Washington Redskins of the NFC East.
