Second-Lowest Scoring Team In The NFC

October 23rd, 2023

Bucs OC Dave Canales.

In only the first eight games of the miserable 2013 Bucs season, Tampa Bay changed quarterbacks (veteran with mental issues to a rookie third-round pick), lost its top running back to injury, and had only had one legitimate receiver to complement an undrafted rookie tight end.

Who can blame him? The Falcons owner knew his team didn’t play particularly well, but hey, a win is a win and his franchise now leads the NFC South at 4-3. Sluggish coming off a bye last week, the Bucs were sloppy and unfocused en route to a 16-13 setback.

That’s three consecutive home losses for Tampa Bay, which now hits the road four times in the next five games. [read more]
