Bucs' McCoy forgives teen who broke into home

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy had one request Thursday, one week ago after his home was broken into just a few hours before the Thursday Night Football game: pray.

He also had a message the person who did it: "I forgive you."

"I would just ask that people pray for the kid who tried to break into my house," said McCoy, who wasn't home when the incident occurred.

"Just a lost kid. [He] probably just needs some guidance. Ain't nothing to be upset over.
