Buccaneers vs. St. Louis Rams 
LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17 St. Louis Rams 19
St. Louis kicker Greg Zuerlein kicked a 38-yard field goal with 42 seconds remaining to take a 19-17 lead. On the ensuing drive, Tampa Bay quarterback Josh McCown completed a 19-yard pass to Bobby Rainey, then spiked the ball to stop the clock with 20 second left in regulation. McCown completed a 29-yard pass to Mike Evans at the St. Louis 32 yard line.
As the team scurried to line up and spike the ball, A hesitant Evans was injured on the play. With no timeouts left, Buccaneers were forced to accept a ten-second runoff penalty, and time expired.
