Chargers can’t keep up with Bucs in 28-21 loss

That said, they have failed to cover the number in five of their last seven road games versus an opponent with a losing home record. They might as well have been shouting it from atop nearby Sunset Cliffs, or Razor Point, or any other picturesque spot in San Diego. Last week, in a 14-5 win over the Seattle Seahawks, David recovered a Jimmy Graham fumble and almost returned it for a touchdown. Unfortunately against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bosa suffered an injury. The Bucs’ rousing win over the Seahawks, at team that otherwise hasn’t lost since October, seemed to be a turning point, however.

BUCS Evans (8-104-2) joined Joey Galloway and Vincent Jackson as only Bucs receivers with 3 straight 1,000-yard seasons (1,020 yards and 10 TDs). Since Jason Verrett’s injury the Bolts don’t typically like to just have one corner follow around one guy for a whole game but they may have no choice but to leave Hayward on Evans, who is coming off back-to-back 100-yard games. It will be a challenge to say the least.

MAGIC MIKE: Although neither side will comment, it’s believed that the Chargers will extend the contract of coach Mike McCoy despite his overall 27-32 record — and the fact the Chargers could miss the playoffs for the third time in McCoy’s four seasons and for the sixth time in seven seasons overall. Philip Rivers threw a late interception, the Buccaneers converted a key third-and-1 right before the two-minute warning, and they got out of San Diego with a huge road win.

“Jameis Winston has this team believing and the D is starting to make plays, ” Dungy tweeted.

A Bucs’ game in December that’ll mean something. It was a great ball and I was lucky enough to hold on to it’.

Jameis Winston and the Bucs have won four straight. If he can cause such damage to a pass defence such as Seattle’s, what can he do to the 26th best pass defence in the league in the Chargers?
