I feel for fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers right now. On the heels of one of the hottest offenses in the NFL, they won the NFC South, made the playoffs, and barely lost in the Wild Card Round off of a doinked-in field goal.

The season did not end the way that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wanted, falling to the Washington Commanders 23-20 this past weekend in the first round of the playoffs. This is a talented team who unfortunately had a couple of holes in the roster that didn’t allow for them to hit their potential.

Baker Mayfield's fourth-quarter fumble led to a touchdown that gave the Washington Commanders a short-lived lead.

Mayfield’s frustration was evident after the fumble, punching the ground as Washington recovered. Despite the setback, the Buccaneers rallied to tie the game at 20-20 on a field goal, but another miscommunication — this time an early snap by rookie center Graham Barton — cost Tampa Bay a chance to maintain momentum.
