The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 28-23 to the New England Patriots in Week 10, making their record 6-3.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Despite the team\u2019s passing yards, it wasn\u2019t enough to translate into a win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay\u2019s quarterback Baker Mayfield<\/a> went 28 out of 43 with 273 yards and three touchdown passes, as well as no interceptions. The play allowed Tampa Bay a chance to be in striking distance all day, but they just couldn\u2019t come through when it mattered most.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cJust didn\u2019t execute well enough,\u201d Mayfield stated. \u201cGot to do all the little things right, especially in big situations. It\u2019s just a game of inches, and when you\u2019re playing a good team like the Patriots, little things will beat you, and that\u2019s what happened to us as an offense today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The wide receiver, Emeka Egbuka<\/a>, gained a total of 115 yards with a touchdown. Tight end Cade Otton<\/a> saw a consistent stream of passes as he gained a total of 82 yards, and wide receiver Tez Johnson<\/a> caught four passes, resulting in 42 yards and two touchdowns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Head coach Todd Bowles repeated Mayfield\u2019s\u00a0 sentiment, saying that he \u201cneeds to see improvement, both play-wise and schematically.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was four big plays,\u201d Bowles went on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t play well in all three phases, so we didn\u2019t have any rhythm on offense, we didn\u2019t have any rhythm on defense, and we didn\u2019t have any rhythm on special teams,\u201d Bowles went on to explain. \u201cYou have to credit the Patriots, they were one of the reasons, but we\u2019ve got to fix the things we can control,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to coach it better and play it better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

New England starting quarterback, Drake Maye<\/a>, connected 16 out of 31 passes, resulting in 270 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. Running back TreVeyon Henderson<\/a> was the backbone, breaking down the Tampa Bay defensive unit with 147 yards out of 14 carries, including two touchdowns, including a 69-yard game-sealing touchdown deep into the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n

The leading receiver, Mack Hollins<\/a>, caught a team-high 106 yards\u2019 worth of passes, including a 72-yard touchdown by wide receiver Kyle Williams<\/a>, as well as five receptions by wide receiver Stefon Diggs<\/a> for 46 yards and one touchdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The loss was a tough one for the Buccaneers, who had a chance to make a statement win at home. Still, at 6-3, they remain in a good position atop the NFC South and will look to bounce back next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
