The defense has done a great job early on in the last two home games (Bears and Lions). However, the offense has wasted their opportunities and failed to jump out to a commanding lead, which has eventually led to losses in both contests.
Did you know 'roughing the holder' and 'leaping' are NFL penalties? The Bucs might not have! - SBNation.com
