Once again, Sunday’s win over the Atlanta Falcons continues to show the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of the most difficult teams in the NFL to figure out.

Some weeks, the Buccaneers find ways to look like one of the top offenses in the NFL, only to look horrendous the following game.

With Atlanta entering Week 12 as one of the hottest teams in the NFL following two impressive wins in a row, Tampa Bay knew this NFC South battle on the road would be challenging.

Thanks to another monster day by Chris Godwin after the wideout caught seven passes for 184 yards with two touchdowns, the Buccaneers found a way to cruise to a 35-22 victory over their division rivals.

Earning a trip to the playoffs will be difficult for obvious reasons, but as far as the rest of the season is concerned, the main focus for Tampa Bay could be on whether Jameis Winston deserves another shot beyond 2019 to be the starter.

Part of the reason behind the Buccaneers being so difficult to figure out this season has been due to Winston’s inconsistent play, but Sunday’s three-touchdown performance shows what the former No. 1 pick is capable of when on top of his game.
