The Bucs blew an 11-point fourth quarter lead and then lost in overtime on Khiry Robinson’s touchdown run. The defense gave up a key penalty after seemingly forcing a punt in the extra period and other mistakes cost Lovie Smith’s team dearly in the long run. “Whenever you get up like that on the road, you've got to be able to finish the job. So, it's disappointing how we finished” Smith said.
