Seattle Loses to Tampa Bay 21-16 as Comeback Attempt Falls Short: Live Game Log

Live drive-by-drive updates as the Seahawks take on the Buccaneers in Germany.

For the first time in NFL history, two teams will face off in Germany when the Seattle Seahawks take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday morning. 

Both teams enter this matchup at much different points than was expected of them this season, with the Seahawks sitting at 6-3 and in first place in the NFC West while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers owning a 4-5 record, which has them in first in their division.

The resurgent Seahawks are led by MVP candidate, quarterback Geno Smith, with the emergence of rookie running back Kenneth Walker III bringing a balance to the offense that makes life difficult for opposing defenses. 

As for the Buccaneers, while they have struggled at times this season, Tom Brady is still their quarterback and with him under center they are never out of a game. He showed this last Sunday when he orchestrated a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Rams. 

A win today could establish the Seahawks even further in the NFC playoff race, while a loss isn't quite a backbreaker just yet. 

Stay tuned as we provide live drive-by-drive updates as the Seahawks take on the Buccaneers live from Germany on Sunday morning.

Live updates will be available shortly after kickoff.
