Another week and another close loss for the Bucs but this one really was there for the taking. Mike Evans’
stunning touchdown catch put the Bucs 27-20 ahead with 3:14 remaining but it took less than a minute for the
Buffalo offense to tie the scores. After an Adam Humphries fumble, the Bills were able to control the final two
minutes of the clock and kick the winning fieldgoal sending the Bucs to their third straight loss.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

OJ Howard had the Bucs’ opening touchdown as he came across the formation uncovered
His second one was the same play he scored on earlier in the season - wide open does not do this justice
Mike Evans put the Bucs ahead on a superb reception in the corner of the endzone
