Buccaneers fans drafting Grizzard's eulogy and Bowles' pink slip after blowing another one to Carolina.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Down by three with 49 seconds left, B.Mayfield throws short to M.Evans and L.Ransom picks it off to end it — a play call and a throw the fanbase will be relitigating until training camp. The 40-yard strike to E.Egbuka and Mayfield's 23-yard scramble gave Tampa every chance, and Grizzard's offense still couldn't punch it in. When the postgame discourse is about firing the coordinator, the season has already curdled.
