Two months ago, people in Tampa were talking about a division title. After a loss to the Titians 23-17 and then the Panthers 38-19 and who can forget the 41-14 loss to the Jaguars, we have little choice but to embrace a spoiler's role. The Bucs are now preparing to face the Cowboys in Saturday night's nationally televised matchup at Raymond James Stadium. This game is a sellout, but it should be a Cowboy friendly crowd as the Bucs try to cripple the playoff hopes of America's Team. The Glazers will also be watching, who have witnessed the Bucs drop seven consecutive games to fall into the NFC South basement at 4-9. Last week's 41-14 setback at Jacksonville, fueled by a franchise record-tying seven turnovers, ramped up speculation about the job security of head coach Raheem Morris. While the Cowboys are playing for an NFC East title, the Bucs will be playing for pride. In Tampa Bay's first prime-time appearance since 2008, the Bucs defeated Indianapolis 24-17 on Oct. 3, setting a franchise mark at home by rolling up 466 yards. The Bucs are going to need some of that magic if they hope to beat the Cowboys.

- The Buccaneers will head back to prime-time on Saturday for the second time this season, looking to go 2-0 under the national spotlight

- Coach Morris hopes more fundamental work in practice can help the Bucs avoid the sort of sudden momentum change that hurt them in Jacksonville
