First the fumble than the INT than the holding. Bucs did everything to not cover.

It was 4th and 15 at the ATL 20, David intercepted at the 35 and returned it to the 28. So he cost them 8 yards.

Barton holding penalty was a horrible decision. If you have to just whiff on your block, take a no gain or 1-2 yard loss on a run play. Do these guys just hold instinctively when they get beat with no regard for the situation? The Irving fumble was worse but the defense did bail them out.

Ultimately Bucs had 4th down at the ATL 42, why not kick a 59 yarder, McLaughlin had just kicked a 53 yarder like it was nothing with plenty to spare.

Instead they send out a sketchy punter, who kicks a touchback for a 22 yard net.
