Chris Godwin’s involvement in the Buccaneers offense took a hit in Sunday’s 21—18 win over the Panthers, and his wife has questions.
The Tampa Bay wide receiver was targeted just three times against Carolina, a notable drop-off compared to the seven targets he received in each of the Bucs’ two previous games. Despite being on the field for 52 snaps against the Panthers (84% of the Bucs’ offensive plays), Godwin saw fewer looks than his fellow wideouts. The Super Bowl champ finished with zero catches but did record a 19-yard rushing touchdown.
When probed about Godwin’s performance, Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles claimed Godwin’s injuries resulted in a decrease in playing time.
