An early deficit immediately put people on edge, and it stayed close for a little too long, but the Buccaneers opened up a crushing 21-point fourth quarter to cement their 45-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Both sides of the ball found their respective grooves as the afternoon progressed, as a few Miami mistakes snowballed quickly. Ultimately, the Dolphins simply couldn’t keep pace with superior competition.
It’s the exact type of win elite teams pull off, so it’s encouraging to see it from the Bucs as they advance to a healthy 4-1 record.
