The Buccaneers got their first dose of primetime action last Thursday night, but they didn’t live up to the hype under the bright lights, playing a sloppy game en route to a 20-19 loss to the Chicago Bears.
Tampa Bay was pretty unimpressive in all facets of the game. Despite leading 13-0 at the two-minute warning in the first half, the Bucs went into the locker room down by one. Coming out of the break, they couldn’t stop committing penalties, stunting every offensive drive they had. In the end, it was a battle of the kickers that Chicago ultimately won.
