The third quarter of the Bucs-Bengals game just went absolutely wild, with rookie Josiah Trotter picking off Joe Burrow and taking it to the house for a 38-yard touchdown return! That play, coupled with a booming field goal, helped Tampa Bay rip off 10 unanswered points, closing the gap to a nail-biting 27-20.
Bucs Go Full Throttle in the Third Quarter
It felt like the first half was all Cincinnati, but man, the Bucs came out of the locker room with some serious fire. They kicked off their comeback with Chase McLaughlin drilling a 51-yard field goal, capping off a 10-play, 38-yard drive. That brought them to within 27-13. And you know what? They weren’t done.
Burrow Intercepted, Game On!
Barely a minute and a half after that field goal, only 1:25 later, Tampa Bay was suddenly within seven points! How’d they do it? Rookie Josiah Trotter, that’s how! On a third-and-5, Trotter snagged a pass intended for Andrei Iosivas and took it all the way back for a touchdown. Just like that, it’s a one-score game. Burrow’s stat line now reads 18-of-25 for 163 yards, with one touchdown and that costly interception. This thing is far from over!
