Buccaneers vs. New York Jets 
LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 03 New York Jets 26
The Jets were without starting quarterback Mark Sanchez, but the Buccaneers were unable to take advantage.
The Tampa Bay defense allowed 175 yards rushing, and quarterback Josh Freeman, coming off a five interception game the previous week, struggled to read New York Jets coach Rex Ryan's exotic blitzes. Freeman finishing the day with three interceptions and a passer rating of just 12.1, well below his season average of 59.8.
"We came out a little flat in practice on Friday and I told the guys that these are the results you get when you don't practice hard every day," Raheem Morris said. "We came out flat on offense and (that) put us into some bad situations on defense, and then we give up a 33-yard run (for a touchdown) and all of a sudden the game is out of hand."
