New Jersey squandered a chance at a higher playoff seed Saturday as they fell to the Tampa Bay Bandits in a low scoring affair. The Generals managed only 223 total yards and 12 first downs in the defeat. As a result, they take the 6 spot and have to play Jacksonville in the swamp next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the victory, Tampa will host Philadelphia in the other East wildcard match. Thanks to Gary Anderson, who made up for the struggles of back up quarterback Frank Reich, the Bandits end the season on a high note and ensure that two playoff games will be played in the state of Florida next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a4002bbb7413&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a4002bbb7413\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"122\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.distantreplaysports.com\/usfldr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/summary-1-1024x122.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.distantreplaysports.com\/usfldr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/summary-1-1024x122.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.distantreplaysports.com\/usfldr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/summary-1-300x36.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.distantreplaysports.com\/usfldr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/summary-1-768x91.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.distantreplaysports.com\/usfldr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/summary-1.jpg 1347w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dateline: Saturday, June 7, 1986.
