Bucs feel 'sting' of missed chances in OT defeat to Falcons

ATLANTA -- With 1:52 to go and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinging to a 30-27 lead over the Atlanta Falcons in a primetime NFC South showdown, Bucs inside linebacker Lavonte David intercepted quarterback Kirk Cousins at the Atlanta 35-yard line and jogged down the sideline to the end zone to celebrate with several teammates.

Quarterback Baker Mayfield said he thought the Bucs had won. So did left tackle Tristan Wirfs and cornerback Zyon McCollum.

"I did," said Mayfield, who afterward sat dejected, staring into his locker for several minutes.
