TAMPA, Fla -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 37-32 win over the Los Angeles Rams at Raymond James Stadium was suspended for nearly 1 hour and 10 minutes Sunday due to lightning at the two-minute mark.

Moments earlier, with 2:24 remaining in the fourth quarter, Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston completed an 11-play, 75-yard drive capped by a 7-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans.

A failed two-point conversion made it 37-32.

On second-and-7 at the Rams' 9-yard line, Clinton McDonald stuffed Rams quarterback Case Keenum on a draw play for a 4-yard loss, setting up a third-and-11 from the L.A. 9-yard line. That's when the thunder kicked in, followed by gusts of wind and some debris falling from the upper decks onto the field.

The game officially resumed at 8:28, after players completed a 10-minute warmup.

Why not try just enjoying the win rather than looking for the next loss to revel in?

Who says I am not enjoying the win?

Exactly. When was the last time a Rams team was 2 games over .500?

And coming off a big loss like Tampa. It's got to be hard to beat teams like that every week. Under Fisher we're 4-4 vs Arizona; 2-2 at their place.

Some comments during the Cards/Bills game:

If Bruce Arians leads the Cardinals to a win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, he'll sit alone in fourth place on the Cards' all-time win list with 36.

The Bills' pass rush seems to be reaching Carson Palmer on third down. Next week for Arizona: Robert Quinn, Aaron Donald and the Rams.

The Cardinals have gained a first down. Took until 9:13 remaining in second quarter.

Cardinals have 74 yards on this drive, their sixth. They had a total of 2 yards on their five drives before that.

Surprising to see Carson Palmer averaging 3.1 yards per pass attempt in the
first half at Buffalo. He averaged a league-best 8.7 YPA from the start of the
2015 season thru Week 2.

The Cardinals are essentially tipping the snap, which they used to their
advantage by drawing the Bills into a neutral-zone infraction on their last
drive. RG Earl Watford is tapping C A.Q. Shipley when it's time for him to
snap it. The Bills are trying to time their rush accordingly.

Not much else could've gone wrong for the Cardinals in their 33-18 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Their offense had five-straight three-and-outs to start the game. Their punter got hurt, forcing the kicker to punt. The rookie long snapper snapped a crucial snap too high, which the Bills recovered and returned for a touchdown. An easy fumble recovery was muffed. Palmer threw four picks – all in the fourth quarter.

The toughest wins are always the good teams after a disappointing loss. The Rams will have to play their "A" game defense if they have any shot.

"We went from 4.5 point per game to 13 ppg.
Yay"

I guess I took that to be a sarcastic cheer rather than a joyful one. If I misread you I apologize.

I'm not sure I understand, I am thrilled that we've now won 2 games in a row.
However I am disturbed that our offense is not good, and not sustainable.
I see the 2 events as mutually exclusive.
