NFL power rankings: How far do the Bucs fall after Week 12?
Despite all the positive momentum of back-to-back wins, and the extra week of rest and preparation during their bye, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 23-17 to the Cleveland Browns in overtime Sunday.
The loss dropped the Bucs back under .500 for the season at 5-6, but they still remain in first place in the lackluster NFC South.
Where do the Bucs rank among the rest of the teams in the league after another disappointing defeat?
