TAMPA, Fla. -- Patrick Murray didn't need to watch last Thursday night's 19-14 loss to the New England Patriots to know the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be on the lookout for a new kicker.
His Twitter account was blowing up with messages from fans telling him they needed him back in Tampa, where he got his first NFL job back in 2014.
Even a former Bucs teammate, defensive tackle Akeem Spence, now with the Lions, got involved.
Give my guy @patmurray723 a call sheesh...!!!
