Refs royally screwed the Buccaneers on a late Lions challenge during MNF

Week 7's edition of Monday Night Football didn't quite go the way Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans had hoped it would. After a difficult first half, the Bucs showed a little sign of life late in the game. But, when the Detroit Lions got the ball back after a failed fourth down attempt by Tampa Bay, it was at that point that things started to look a bit one-sided.

The play which saw the Buccaneers turn the ball over on downs was as controversial as they come. Baker Mayfield hit tight end Cade Otton, who proceeded to launch himself toward the first down marker.
