2012 NFL schedule, Week 14: Eagles travel to Tampa Bay

The Philadelphia Eagles have been the bigger disappointment of the NFL season, and they will continue to play out the string against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Raymond James Stadium on Sunday.

Philadelphia doesn't resemble the team it once was, playing without quarterback Michael Vick, wide receiver DeSean Jackson and running back LeSean McCoy.

The Buccaneers, on the other hand, started out miserably, only to right the ship. However, Greg Schiano's group has lost two straight and at 6-6, needs a win to keep pace in the NFC Wild Card chase.

Other games of interest are headlined by the Monday night matchup of the New England Patriots and Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium. Tom Brady and Matt Schaub are likely to darken the sky with footballs in a contest many believe will be high scoring.

The New Orleans Saints are on life support as far as the playoffs go, and now head to MetLife Stadium for a date with the New York Giants. Tom Coughlin's group is trying to recover from its third defeat in four weeks.
