Bills vs. Buccaneers 2013: Tampa Bay dominates struggling Buffalo

In an ugly game marred by a combined seven turnovers and 19 penalties, both teams struggled on offense. Rainey’s big game helped separate Tampa Bay, however. On just the second play from scrimmage, the running back found a hole in the left side of the line, stiff-armed a defender and raced 80 yards for a touchdown.

Jackson was the only Buccaneer outside of Rainey who had a significant fantasy day. The big wideout had three receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown. Glennon threw for two scores but added a pair of picks and had only 90 yards passing.

These two teams are going through growing pains. This week is yet another opportunity to try to discern how they will ultimately take shape.

C.J. Spiller had his best game of the season, rushing for 149 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, and allowed Manuel to get by with a serviceable performance passing -- 18-for-32, 210 yards, one touchdown and no turnovers. Unfortunately, fumbles downfield doomed the Bills’ chances of winning. Stevie Johnson fumbled at the Falcons’ 30-yard line late in regulation, taking away the Bills’ shot at a game-winning field goal. The Bills then took over the ball in overtime, but Scott Chandler fumbled just past midfield to set up the Falcons’ game-winning drive.

The Buccaneers are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games, while the Bills are 6-6 on the season. The over/under for the matchup is 42.5 points. Tampa Bay is only averaging roughly 18 points per game while allowing nearly 24 points. For the Bills, Buffalo is scoring roughly 22 points per contest, while allowing 25 point on defense.

The Buccaneers will host the Bills on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
