Just Grillin Pewter Player Of The Week – S Chris Conte
There wasn’t much to cheer about in Tampa Bay’s 17-3 loss at home to Carolina. The Bucs were trying to snap a three-game losing streak, but instead it’s turned into a four-game losing streak. With only three points on the board, it’s safe to suggest that no one on the offensive side of the ball was deserving of this week’s Just Grillin Pewter Player of the Week award.

The defense did a reasonable job of containing Carolina quarterback Cam Newton, and safety Chris Conte, who is now a part-time player at strong safety with the emergence of rookie Justin Evans, who mans the free safety spot, came up with a big game. Conte had a team-high nine tackles and also recorded the Bucs’ lone interception of the game and the first of the 2017 season for Conte.

“Defense played amazing,” Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston, who had two touchdowns. “They definitely gave us a chance, and it goes back to what I said: I’ve got to play better. [Kicker] Pat Murray did that – if you’re not scoring any points for your defense it’s going to be hard to win and I definitely didn’t come out and do that today. I’m happy that I feel good [physically]. Now we’ve got to go to New Orleans and make some noise.”

For his efforts as this week’s Just Grillin Pewter Player, Conte will receive a $50 gift card to Just Grillin, which has the largest selection of grills, smokers, outdoor kitchens and grilling accessories found anywhere.
