Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions Divisional Playoffs

 


The Detroit Lions ended the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Season defeating them 31-23 in Detroit, MI. Bucs QB Baker Mayfield threw for 3 touchdowns, one to running back Rachaad White, Cade Otton, and Mike Evans. Mayfield also had two interceptions, one a costly interception that ended their season in the Divisional Playoffs against the Lions. 

I have to tip my hats off to the Lions making big plays both offensively and defensively. Their Cinderella story is the reason why I'm pulling for the Lions to go to the Superbowl and win a Championship 🏆 for the city 🏙️ of Detroit. Jared Goff deserve the win and I'm pulling for the Lions to beat the San Francisco 49ers at Levi Stadium in San Francisco in the NFC Championship game. 

Like I mentioned in blog posts before Bucs head coach Todd Bowles fate is in the hands of Owners the Glazers if they decide to fire Bowles or bring him back for one more season on a short term deal. Had the Bucs would have won this game Bowles would have gotten a contract extension plus a bonus. Bowles questionable play calling when the Bucs elected to go for a 2-point conversion that failed instead of kicking the extra point that would have cut the Lions lead to 24-17 will go down as one of the worst calls by Bowles along with not using their last timeout to try to get the football 🏈 back. 

I personally don't see how Bowles gets another year with the Bucs. The Glazers hired Bowles to get the Bucs competing for Superbowls and the only thing Bowles has done is gotten the Bucs ousted in the first round in 2022 losing to the Dallas Cowboys 31-14 and losing in the Divisional round to the Lions; granted the Lions played hard and won the game. Mayfield should get a contract extension because he put the Bucs in position to win at the end in a lot of games. Will tomorrow be Todd Bowles getting a pink slip or will the Glazers give him one more year? It's looking unlikely at this point. Just My Thoughts.
