The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continue to fall in the power rankings, making it all the way down to 23rd on average this time. It's a downward trend when you're losing, and the Bucs are no exception that trend. They'll have a chance to turn it around on Sunday, but can they beat Robert Griffin III and his Redskins?
SB Nation - 23rd (Up from 24th):
Seven-point loss in New York and a six-point loss in Dallas. Tough road trip.
The Bucs rank last in yards per game, yards per play and third-down conversion rate.
Fox Sports (Brian Billick) - 23rd (Down from 18th):
At least Greg Schiano is a man of his word. During his postgame press conference, he said that he wanted to be known for a team that wins game, not a team that goes hard on kneel down plays. Well, I suggest you start winning games then.
CBS Sports (Pete Prisco) - 26th (down from 24th):
The offense just seems way too conservative at times. Let Josh Freeman throw it some more.
NFL.com (Elliot Harrison) - 21st (down from 18th):
If Greg Schiano gets his offense as fired up as his victory-formation defense, the Bucs will have more than a shot against the Redskins, who can't stop anybody. On another note, what an impressive game by defensive lineman Michael Bennett. The guy completely destroyed the Cowboys' O-line. Four tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble is a pretty good line for a guy who was cut by the Seahawks a few seasons back.
NFL.com Power Poll - 22nd (down from 21st)
Pro Football Talk - 24th (down from 22nd):
Crashing victory formation provides a nice diversion from a loss.
Bottled up Dallas' run game. Freeman had game to forget.
