You need to [expletive] care sufficient the place this [expletive] hurts. It is acquired to [expletive] imply one thing to you. It is greater than a job; it is your [expletive] livelihood. … You’ll be able to’t sugarcoat that [expletive], it was [expletive] inexcusable.

It was a sport the place the Falcons have been backed up in their very own half of the sphere with no timeouts and the clock ticking down in an not possible third-and-forever down.
However the Bucs’ security performed too far off the receiver, and the nook performed too ahead, leaving veteran Kirk Cousins a simple completion to show a misplaced sport right into a thunderous comeback for a Falcons aspect that wanted some hope.
The Buccaneers drop to 7-7 with three video games left within the season, and the Carolina Panthers miraculously lead the division.
