The offense only converted two of five red zone attempts into touchdowns. And was just four of 13 in third-down conversion attempts. The defense started strong but faded in the second half. Finally, the Bucs’ defense allowed 453 total yards. Including 231 on the ground. And, for the fourth game in a row, the Buccaneers failed to produce a single turnover. That’s the first time in the franchise’s nearly 50-year history.
Tom Brady threw for 325 yards and a touchdown on 26-of-44 passing. And then he completed 51 yards to Mike Evans and 44 yards to Chris Godwin. Evans recorded his 32nd-career 100-yard receiving game.
