NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- An early whistle from an official on a fake field goal cost the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a late go-ahead touchdown in a 27-23 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
With 3:45 to go in the fourth quarter, Bucs linebacker Devin White tackled Titans punter Brett Kern, stripping him of the ball. Safety Andrew Adams recovered it and ran it in for what would have been a touchdown.
"Devin being the type of player he is, playing fast, came over, put a good hit on him -- I thought I saw the ball come out, so I picked it up like a fumble and returned it because I thought it was a fumble.
