Of all the games the 2017 Buccaneers lost, they will look back at this one and wonder how. Numerous scoring chances went begging, fieldgoals instead of touchdowns, a kick return score against them, a failed fake punt that saw a penalty extend a drive and then a winning score with 35 seconds left on a ball that was fumbled. Jameis was simply magnificent but could not do it all on his own and the record fell to 4-11.
