Vibes are high right now for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but unfortunately so is the rate at which key players are hitting the injury report. Sunday was arguably the breeziest of Tampa Bay’s five wins this season, but it happened without three core players on offense and a handful of other important players as well.
It didn’t stop the Bucs from beating the 49ers and claiming the top spot in the NFC, but it was a victory that might have been more costly than we all thought. Superstar rookie Emeka Egbuka finished the game with just two catches, largely because he didn’t play at all in the second half of the game.
