Buccaneers Make Unique NFL History With Third Straight Clutch Win to Open Season

The Buccaneers moved to 3-0 on the season on Sunday by way of a torrid back-and-forth contest with the Jets that ended with a Chase McLaughlin field goal as time expired to secure Tampa Bay's 29-27 win. While the Bucs are probably frustrated a last-second field goal was required—they were up 20-6 at halftime—a win is a win in the NFL. Whether by a blowout or a miracle, the Bucs aimed to exit Week 3 still undefeated and they did.

They also made fun and unique NFL history in the process. In winning a third consecutive nail-biter, the Buccaneers became the first team in NFL history to win three games thanks to a go-ahead score in the final minute of the fourth quarter.
