A statement road win has the Buccaneers riding the lightning entering the season’s home stretch.
It started as a back-and-forth affair that once again fell victim to a perilous second quarter, but the Bucs righted the ship in emphatic fashion with 27 unanswered points in the second half to crush the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday, 40-17.
Every element of the offense hummed outside of back-to-back turnovers, which do need to stop, but perhaps even more important was the defense holding down an elite talent at quarterback for what felt like the first time in months.
