The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were supposed to wipe the floor with the Las Vegas Raiders in their Week 14 matchup but they couldn't really separate from the 2-10 team until they reached the fourth quarter to come away with a 28-13 victory. Coming away victorious was huge for the Buccaneers as they took sole possession of the NFC South with the Atlanta Falcons losing to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Bucs offense wasn't its usual self on the day, and in particular, quarterback Baker Mayfield once again seemed frazzled in the pocket, allowing the Raiders' defense to come away with four sacks while throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble. Bucky Irving exited the contest early, so it was the Rachaad White show on the day as he racked up over 100 total yards and a score. Mike Evans was his usual self but it was the likes of Sterling Shepard and rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan (who scored twice) that was pivotal for the Bucs' offense.

Here is how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive players graded out in their 28-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders to boost them to the top of the division, per Pro Football Focus:
