For the first 30 minutes of Sunday’s Buccaneers-Bills showdown, life felt really good after Tampa built an impressive 24-3 lead.
The following 30 minutes brought a great deal of anguish, as we had to watch them blow said lead in excruciatingly gradual fashion — culminating in the Bills tying the game on a chip shot field goal with less than 30 seconds remaining.
Then overtime just got silly.
An exhausted defense, which saw them on the field for more than 20 minutes of game time in the second half, somehow forced a 3 and out on the opening drive.
