The Bucs were shutout for the first time in nine years as injuries decimated the offense in the second half leaving Tom
Brady unable to take advantage of some great defense. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Leonard Fournette all went out
injured to an offense already missing Antonio Brown & Breshad Perriman. A redzone fumble was the best scoring chance.
