TAMPA, Fla. — The Bucs played one of their best halves of football this season against the red-hot Bengals on Sunday, building a 17-3 halftime lead.
But a botched fake punt and four turnovers in the second half helped lead to 34 unanswered points in a 34-23 loss to the defending AFC champions.
In order, the Bucs bobbled away what appeared to be a fake punt attempt while Tom Brady threw an interception, lost two fumbles and was picked off again.
