Despite the shock of that moment, the Buccaneers ultimately rallied to win the game 29-27, thanks in part to a last-minute drive that sealed the victory.
After the game, star quarterback Baker Mayfield stressed the importance of not relying solely on field goals to secure victories.
"We have to get six and not settle for field goals," Mayfield said, according to Bucs reporter Brianna Dix. "Put ourselves in a better position…Resilient group. We stay together."
It was a special game for Mayfield, further boosting his status as a top MVP contender. He became the first quarterback in NFL history to lead back-to-back-to-back game-winning drives in the first three weeks of a season.
