The Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinched emphatic victory over Arizona Cardinals.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers has finally kept their hopes for the NFL play-off chances after claiming an emphatic 19-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Ryan Succop kicked four field goals, including the 40-yard winner in overtime, as the Bucs rallied from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Cardinals in Glendale, Arizona.

Despite trailing 16-6 in the fourth quarter, the Bucs overcame their offensive struggles from earlier in the game, taking advantage of clutch stops from the defense and leaving Arizona with a huge road win. Tom Brady completed all six of his passes for 69 yards to set up Succop's 40-yard field goal with 3:41 left in the extra period.

The Bucs (7-8) maintained their one-game lead over the Panthers and Saints (both 6-9) in the NFC South and can clinch the division and home-field advantage for the wild-card round of the playoffs with a win over Carolina next weekend at Raymond James Stadium.
