For the majority of Tampa Bay’s narrow 19-17 escape against the New England Patriots Sunday night, Buccaneers fans likely felt some level of déjà vu from a game played nearly one year ago.
In Week 5 of 2020, the Bucs traveled to Chicago on a windy evening as heavy favorites against a Bears squad with some fluky wins. Tampa struggled with the weather, basic execution, and capitalizing on scoring opportunities. At its end, we all saw Chicago make a late field goal and Tom Brady infamously forget the downs as the game ended with a 20-19 loss.
