Of course, not being able to do so, and then coming into the locker room to find out the Bucs had, in fact, lost to the Dolphins, made the loss sting a bit more, but only for a second.

“I mean, yeah, a little bit, yeah, a little bit,” admitted Horn. “But our mindset was we’re going to have, we were going to have to go to Tampa Bay and win anyway, so we just got to go do that.”

Added Brown, “I would love to have been in a situation, you know, where we’re already locked in, but it is what it is.”

Knowing that, does it make Sunday’s loss easier to move on from quickly?

“I know we said it all year, but like, actually, like we got one game left, and it’s for everything. So, yeah, to answer your question, yeah,” said Nick Scott, “definitely easy to move on from this one and try to get a win next week.”
