The only person happier than me today is my cardiologist! This game had everything you want if you’re a Buccaneers’ fan.
Sometimes one side of the ball has a tough day at the office and yesterday it was the Defense turn. But today isn’t a day to talk about what went wrong. The Bucs went across the country, short handed and got the game winning FG by a guy who had stomach flu 24 hours earlier.
They surrendered a 13 point lead but fought back multiple times to score 10 points in the final 2:10 and leave the northwest with a huge 38-35 victory.
Last year they lose this game and start a losing streak as they’ve before under Todd Bowles. But, if you look closely you see that they have Buc’d the trend in multiple ways. Can’t win in throwbacks uniforms? 2 and 0 this year. Can’t win in prime time? They beat the Texans on MNF. Lose close games? 4-1 this year.
This was the type of signature win that can change the fortunes of their season. With tough games coming up at home vs 49ers and on the road vs the Lions, this win ensures that they keep pace with the big boys of the NFC. After what I saw yesterday I’m more confident in this squad than I’ve been in a long time.
Sorry, I have to go….my Cardiologist wants to do more tests.
