There was a lot of bad tape put down Monday night when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers.As there tends to be Youth Vinny Curry Jersey , there are quite a few moments we can all turn to, to see how it all ended the way it did.I’ve selected a few here which stood out for various reasons.The Play: Steelers convert on third and takes the leadAt the time this play happened, the Bucs were holding on to a one point lead and Ben Roethlisberger had already connected on a 43-yard pass to wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster.However, three plays after the big strike, the Tampa Bay defense had a chance to force a long field goal try by kicker Chris Boswell who has been struggling to start the 2018 season.But on this 3rd-and-11, Roethlisberger’s line gave him a pretty solid pocket which he stepped in to and fired a 12-yard completion to tight end Vance McDonald. The play was the sixth of the possession and kept alive a drive which ended up spanning ten plays and ended with an easier field goal try from the Bucs’ 20-yard line.In all, the Steelers used around five minutes of game clock, took their first lead of the game and effectively extinguished any remaining momentum the Buccaneers had from their early first quarter successes.As we all know by now, the remainder of the first half only got worse, but getting off the field two minutes sooner and forcing Pittsburgh into a 50+ yard field goal try or punt could have stopped the bleeding as it started.The Play: Chris Godwin restarts the faucetWhen a team losses their momentum, its absolutely crucial to regain as much of it as possible as soon as possible.You know the phrase, ‘When it rains, it pours’? Well http://www.buccaneersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-caleb-benenoch-jersey , when there’s a chance to stop the drip, teams have to take advantage.One way of doing this is by getting some quick first downs and moving the ball. The Buccaneers appeared to have a good start to this process until Chris Godwin fumbled a second-down pass which would have given Tampa Bay a new set of downs on their own 35-yard line.Instead, just two snaps after taking the lead, the Pittsburgh Steelers scooped up the second-year player’s gaff and took their own momentum up a couple notches.Two plays later Antonio Brown took the ball into the end zone, and the away team who had so much turmoil around them turned six snaps of the football into ten points and a nine-point lead.The first-half run by the Steelers was underway.The Play: GMac misses the sackOur final moment for this week comes near the end of the game. Some may say, at the end of the game really.The Steelers have the ball, a three-point lead, and 2nd-and-10 from inside their own 35-yard line. Trying to kill the clock and get their first win of the season. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay is trying to complete a ‘magical’ comeback.
