The play-by-play and NFL gamebook
A nationally-televised Thursday night game in Tampa and the Bucs had a chance to make a statement with a
win over the defending Super Bowl champions. And they should have done but for three missed fieldgoals by
Nick Folk. A late TD from Jameis Winston to Cameron Brate got them to within two and after a failed onside
kick, they neeed another TD to win it but a final pass from inside the New England 20 fell incomplete.
