Loser: Buccaneers Entire Defense

Carson Palmer was not injured and Drew Stanton played today. That should really say a lot on how poorly the defense performed. The offense really didn’t help by giving them poor field position multiple times but they couldn’t stop a nosebleed today. Palmer rifled three touchdowns in a five minute span in the second quarter and really shut the door on any chance the Buccaneers had. Making them look really poor on a four play 74 yard drive to end the first half on a 51 yard touchdown by Jaron Brown. This was a bad game for the Bucs but next week they play the Rams who have yet to score a touchdown this season in their home opener.
