This was a bad loss from start to finish. The Bucs came out flat, stayed flat and finished even flatter as they lost their second game in a row to fall to 6-3. Even when they had pulled to within four with 10:55 remaining, they allowed a monster drive to take nearly every second off the clock that sealed the game with Antonio Gibson’s second TD run of the game.
