It was an improvement on the seven turnovers from the previous week but only just. Six turnovers against
the Bears and the Bucs couldn't even convert the extra point thanks to a fumbled snap when they did finally
score. The Bears controlled the clock for 38:25 and even lost three fumbles of their own. God knows what
the score could have been if they hadn't.
