Buccaneers

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

A blocked C.McLaughlin field goal recovered by W.McDonald at midfield should have ended it, but B.Mayfield found E.Egbuka for 28 and S.Shepard for 20 to set up the 36-yarder as time expired. Tampa is 3-0 for the first time since 2005, and the creamsicles came through, yet the prevailing mood is exhaustion at the officiating and a kicking unit that nearly torched the whole thing. Style points are not arriving anytime soon.

• “You can’t touch him at all, or push off anybody. McDonald is a freak athlete and it was a miracle play.”
