Detroit Lions vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers live stream: How to watch
By John Buhler
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon in Week 14. Here is how to watch this NFC football game online via live streaming.
It will be Week 14 in the NFL this weekend. One game that will be going on between two former NFC Central rivals will feature the Detroit Lions (6-6) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-8). Kickoff from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa will be at 1:00 p.m. ET on Dec. 10.
Detroit enters play at 6-6 on the year and in a tie for second place in the NFC North. The Lions trail the Minnesota Vikings (10-2) by four games in the NFC North race. A Vikings win over the Carolina Panthers or a Lions loss to the Buccaneers will knock them out of contention in the division.
Detroit can still get into the playoffs as a wild card team, but it does not look promising that they’ll win the division this year. The Lions can win out and be 10-6 to get in or be worse than that and probably miss out on the playoffs.
Tampa Bay enters play at 4-8 on the year and in fourth place in the NFC South. The Buccaneers have been eliminated from the divisional race in the NFC South after the New Orleans Saints beat the Carolina Panthers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome last week.
Either a loss to the Lions at home on Sunday or wins by the Panthers over the Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks over the Jacksonville Jaguars will eliminate the Buccaneers from playoff contention this rest of the way. It has been yet another frustrating season in Tampa to say the least.

According to OddsShark, this is no line yet available for this game. This is because Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford sustained an injury in last week’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He is expected to be available, so stay posted on that.
