I think Gruden might be relieved, actually. They still have a solid grip on a Wild Card spot and suddenly they're underdogs despite playing some of their best football since 2002. IMO, the Bucs have a better shot of making the NFC Championship game than the current NFC 3 and 4 Seeds, which are Arizona and Minnesota.
