Todd Bowles says the quiet part out loud about Buccaneers loss to Patriots

It's certainly true that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came out of their bye week on fire, just not the way anyone would have liked.

The Bucs were on fire in the sense that they were a flaming mess against the Patriots on Sunday. Despite a hot start to the game that saw the offense score with relative ease, the defense dug the team into a hole that it couldn't climb out of.

Todd Bowles' defense gave up three touchdowns on three plays of 50 yards or more, and flipped the script on themselves on the halftime turnaround.
