48. 10. 57. Final. 36
After two ugly losses in very different fashions, the Buccaneers needed to get a win in the worst way as they continue to muddle through a season which has seen disappointment and injury.
The Bucs wanted to start fast, and did just that by scoring a first quarter touchdown on a pick-six by embattled safety Chris Conte.
On a gift-wrapped toss by quarterback Jay Cutler, the former Bears defender took it to the house and gave his team a lead they’d never relinquish.
The interception was his second of the day, and was just the beginning of the struggles Cutler and his offense would face as they turned the ball over time after time and never got anything but a prayer going for them.
There was a lot going on in this one, and most of it was good. Let’s get going.
