Buccaneers travel to Green Bay on Sunday with a shot at the Super Bowl
Shaquil Barrett and Tampa Bay flipped the script on the road, and now the #NextLevelRam will have the opportunity to extend his season to Super Bowl LIV.
Â
Barrett and the Buccaneers had dropped a pair of games to New Orleans during the regular season, but used a strong defensive performance to produce a 30-20 victory Sunday night. They forced four turnovers, three of them leading to Tampa Bay touchdowns.
Â
Rashard Higgins and Cleveland had an upset attempt fall short on the road at Kansas City in a 22-17 loss in Sunday's earlier game.
Â
Last year, former CSU standout Weston Richburg was at the Super Bowl, but was in active for San Francisco due to injury.
Â
Shaquil Barrett – He posted one assisted tackle in the victory, moving Tampa Bay to a showdown with top-seeded Green Bay on Sunday.
Â
Rashard Higgins – He and his Cleveland teammates put a scare into the defending champions, and Higgins was involved in one of them most highlighted plays of the game. As he stretched for the goal line, he was hit and fumbled the ball through the end zone, leading to a touchback and Kansas City taking possession. It led to discussion about the fairness of the rule, and replays also highlighted the defender hit him with the crown of his helmet. It was a hit which was illegal to most eyes, but was not flagged, leading to more discussion about how it is not reviewable. Higgins led the Browns with 88 receiving yards on five catches.
