Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans are outraged after late missed calls against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a soul-crushing loss on Monday Night Football in Week 9, as they fell 30-24 in overtime against the Kansas City Chiefs. They’re now 4-5 on the season and in a dangerous position as they’re without their two star wide receivers.
To make the loss just a bit more painful for Tampa Bay, the squad had an opportunity to put the game away. Having scored late in the game, Todd Bowles chose a conservative play call and kicked an extra point to tie the game. They ended up losing in overtime.
The Buccaneers’ unwillingness to go for a two-point conversion for them to win the game cost them a potential big upset win on the road against the Chiefs, which would have seen them knock off an undefeated squad.
