TAMPA, Fla. — Todd Bowles has tried everything to cure the Jets’ penalty disease.
He better keep trying.
“We’re a physical team and you have to understand some things are gonna come with that,” Steve McLendon said after Buccaneers 15, Jets 10 on Sunday. “You have to learn to play a little bit smarter. That’s all of us. Stay physical, but learn to play within the rules.
“Everybody knows we’re a highly penalized team and the referee is gonna be looking at that, but we still have to play smart. We still have to finish the game.
