Week 3 · 2025–26 season
Buccaneers
W 29-27 vs Jets · Sep 21, 2025
Misery Index · Uneasy
Buccaneers fans are 3-0 and somehow furious, blaming Vegas, Vilma, and a blocked kick for a win they barely enjoyed.
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.
