Where the game was decided
Tampa Bay won most of the categories that usually settle a football game. The Buccaneers held the ball almost four minutes longer, gained 376 yards to 200, and hit the two longest plays of the afternoon. The columns that paid went the other way. Philadelphia scored on a blocked punt, went 3 for 3 in the red zone, and never turned the ball over, while Tampa Bay came up empty on both trips inside the 20 and lost the ball twice.
Mayfield had rallied the Buccaneers to game-deciding scores in the final two minutes of each of their first three games. This time the room ran out. The game ended on a safety, Braden Mann running the clock into the back of his own end zone, a last entry on a stat sheet that favored Tampa Bay everywhere except the only place that counts. The win was Philadelphia’s 20th in 21 games since the start of its Super Bowl LIX championship run, with the lone loss in that stretch coming at Washington the previous December.
