They finish with games at New Orleans, at Dallas and at home against Carolina.As well as winning four straight, the Bucs have won four straight on the road.Tandy was already past this one and ready for the next game.Ive never played meaningful football in December, so Im ready to get on and see how it feels, he said.Here are some takeaways from the Bucs win:PERSPECTIVESince winning the Super Bowl here in January 2003 with a rout of the Oakland Raiders, the Bucs have been back to the playoffs only twice, losing in the wild-card round both times. Theyve missed the playoffs the last eight years.Were having fun, and when you have fun good things happen, rookie cornerback Vernon Hargreaves said. Hopefully we can keep this streak going and see where it takes us.GREAT DEFENSERivers threw two second-half interceptions, including Lavonte Davids pick-6.Hargreaves had a hand in both pickoffs.He tipped the ball that David plucked out of the air and returned 15 yards for a 17-14 lead late in the third quarter.After Winstons go-ahead TD pass to Brate and a 2-point conversion pass to Mike Evans, Rivers had the Chargers on the move in the final minutes. Hargreaves hollered out what route to look for. Tandy got in front of a pass to Dontrelle Inman along the right sideline and picked it off.Tandys momentum carried him into the end zone, giving the Bucs the ball on their 20. They were able to run out the clock.Tandy said the defense made adjustments at halftime and came out fired up.We didnt have the energy we had the last couple of weeks. So thats all we kept talking about, Tandy said. You could hear guys going, `Lets get the energy back. Lets get the energy back and lets keep punching. BOLTSThe Chargers (5-7) were trying to get back to .500 for the first time since Week 2. They remain buried in the AFC West basement and have all but assured themselves of missing the playoffs for the third time in coach Mike McCoys four seasons and for the sixth time in seven seasons.In his last home game, Rivers was intercepted four times in the fourth quarter of a 31-24 loss to Miami.Weve had a handful like this, not necessarily exactly losing them this way, but we have had our chances to win and we havent gotten it done, Rivers said.You cant turn it over twice. Cant turn it over, one for a touchdown and the other in that situation.WINNING DRIVETampa Bay benefited from a short punt by Drew Kaser to start the winning drive on its 46. Winston found Brate for the TD on the fourth play of the drive, with 9:01 to play, and then hit Evans on a conversion pass for a 28-21 lead.Winston was 20 of 30 for 280 yards, with one TD and one pickoff.Winston was intercepted by Casey Hayward on Tampa Bays first possession, but Josh Lambo was wide left on a 53-yard field goal try. Winston then led the Bucs on a drive capped by Doug Martins 2-yard touchdown run on a great second effort.INJURIESTampa Bay wide receiver Cecil Shorts III was taken off the field on a cart after sustaining a knee injury on a hard hit by San Diegos Jahleel Addae following a catch on the Bucs first possession. Shorts was tended to for a few minutes and then put on the cart. The entire Buccaneers team came out near the cart, and several of the players slapped hands with the wide receiver. Shorts pumped a fist toward his teammates as he was driven off.Tampa Bay also lost WR Adam Humphries with a concussion and tight end Luke Stocker with an ankle injury.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Kostas Antetokounmpo Jersey .

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya has worked with many fighters during his time as a promoter but he may not have been giddier about any signing since Mexican star Canelo Alvarez signed with the company in 2010 until this week.That is when De La Hoya announced that Golden Boy signed blue-chip lightweight prospect Ryan Garcia to a multi-year promotional deal. Terms were not disclosed, but De La Hoya has extremely high expectations for the 18-year-old from Victorville, California.Ryan Garcia is special, simple as that, De La Hoya said. His amateur pedigree is among the best Ive ever seen. His skill set is far beyond his 18 years of age, and if you want to know how hungry he is -- because he couldnt fight professionally in the U.S. until he turned 18 -- he fought in Mexico four times before his birthday this year.I expect enormous things from Ryan and am excited to work with him as he embarks on a career that Im sure will include multiple world championships.Indeed, Garcia (6-0, 5 KOs) turned pro in June and fought four times in Mexico, where teenagers going pro is commonplace. Garcia turned 18 in August and foughtt two more times in Southern California before signing with Golden Boy.dddddddddddd.His first fight with the company will take place on the undercard of Bernard Hopkins farewell fight against Joe Smith on Dec. 17 at The Forum in Inglewood, California.I am so excited to announce that I have signed with Golden Boy Promotions, Garcia said. My family and I grew up watching and admiring Oscar De La Hoya and to now be fighting under his promotional banner is a dream come true. I cant wait to get back in the ring on Dec. 17 and start showing the world what Im capable of.Garcia, who began boxing at age 7, went 215-15 as an amateur. He is a 15-time national champion and won a gold medal at the 2016 youth world championships. He claimed a silver medal at the 2014 junior world championships, won National Police Athletic League championships from 2008 to 2016 and is a four-time National Silver Gloves champion (2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013) in addition to winning junior Golden Gloves titles in 2009 and 2012.
