The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football, 24-21 on a missed last-second field goal. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones once again cut through the Bucs’ defense time and time again, and Tampa Bay simply couldn’t keep up—though they came close.
While the Bucs lost, you can’t fault their effort tonight. The defense was terrible, though that was in large part down to injuries, but the offense put up a tough fight. Jameis Winston in particular was outstanding, completing 27 of 35 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns with no turnovers.
