Bucs Fall To Rams 27-24; Face Defending Super Bowl Champs Kansas City Chiefs On Sunday
The Tampa Bay Bucca- neers didn't wilt under the prime-time lights in their fourth try, but they didn't win, either. As a result, their path to the postseason got a little bit harder.

The Buccaneers are now 1.5 games behind the 8-2 New Orleans Saints in the NFC South. Tampa Bay remains at home in Week 12 to face the defending Super Bowl Cham- pion Kansas City Chiefs, who are 9-1, at 4:25 p.m.
