Another national TV game, another lackluster performance and another loss. This game never felt as close as a
three-pointer with a deciding fieldgoal by former Buc Matt Gay in the fourth quarter. The defense never got close to
Jared Goff, Tom Brady was terrible on anything over 10 yards downfield and the Bucs fell to 7-4 on the season.
