Misery Index · Uneasy
Buccaneers fans celebrating the 23-20 win over Atlanta while side-eyeing the refs and bracing for the other shoe.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Y.Koo's 44-yarder sailing wide right is the only reason this week's card reads as a win, and the fanbase knows it. B.Mayfield's 25-yard strike to E.Egbuka with a minute left was the kind of throw that earns the "future HOF" hyperbole in the threads, but it came one play after M.Penix had walked into the end zone untouched. A 1-0 start that felt a lot more like a coin flip.
