It wasn't pretty, but the Tampa Buccaneers dug deep to beat the Arizona Cardinals 19-16 in Week 16.
Offensive spotlight: Leonard Fournette did his best James White/Shane Vereen/Danny Woodhead impression on Christmas Day, catching nine passes for 90 receiving yards and three first downs. He forced four missed tackles and racked up 65 receiving yards after contact in a gutsy performance.
Defensive spotlight: J.J. Watt recorded two hits on Tom Brady and came away with four pass-rush wins. He also added a mammoth six defensive stops against the run to end the game with an 86.3 run-defense grade.
Rookie spotlight: Bucs tight end Cade Otton has had good games this year, but this wasn't one of them. He was targeted seven times — but only three were charted as catchable — and he came down with just two catches for 12 yards. He dropped a pass and managed just three yards after the catch.
Offensive line spotlight: Brady might be feeling a little sore this morning: The Buccaneers allowed just four pressures on Sunday, but all four were chated as QB hits.
