It’s no secret: when you make mistakes in the NFL, you lose games. Penalties and turnovers are one-way tickets to adding a mark in the “L” column.
The Bucs know this. They went 3-7 in one-score games last season primarily because they made mistakes in both crucial moments and throughout a game on a common basis.
An ability to avoid major mistakes was commonplace throughout the first two games of the 2018 season, but it was rendered absent on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The game got off to a great start for the Bucs.
