Why the Buccaneers almost blew an easy win last night

The Buccaneers didn’t let us breathe until the final whistle.

Although the final outcome was almost unanimously predicted by fans and talking heads around the country, Thursday’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys was far closer than what was expected and what should have ever been allowed to occur by the defending champions.

While the Bucs were the heavy favorites, the game came down to the last drive, a fortunate no-call in favor of Tampa, and a game-winning field goal.
