The Bucs lost a crazy game to the Bears on Sunday night football, falling just short at 27-24.
Tampa Bay’s defense was incredible, forcing five turnovers in the game, but the offense did not do their part. There were too many turnovers, drops and penalties that didn’t allow for them to capitalize on the defense’s big plays.
A late field goal did the Bucs in as they drop to 3-6 on the season. Tampa Bay will have a bye next week to regroup. Pewter Report recaps everything from the primetime game.
