Two plays were the difference in Sunday’s 27-20 loss for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Dallas Cowboys.
It was a 67 yard fumble return for a touchdown early in the second quarter, as well as the botched handoff between Winston and Bobo Wilson that gave Dallas the ball inside the Buccaneers’ five yard line. Outside of those two plays, the Buccaneers played a pretty damn good game for a 5-9 team on the road facing a division leader, but those two plays cost the team 14 points.
Winning football teams simply don’t make mistakes like that.
