After that comes an NFC Championship Game rematch Dec. 3 at the conference-leading Philadelphia Eagles, before a Dec. 10 return to Levi’s Stadium to face the Seahawks and possibly decide the NFC West.The Bucs (4-6) offered a nice tune-up, especially for Purdy, who won his starting debut against them and Tom Brady...
