Bucs face backlash for costly delay of game penalty against Cowboys
Summary

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are under scrutiny following a delay-of-game penalty that negated a successful 61-yard field goal attempt by Chase McLaughlin during their game against the Dallas Cowboys. The error occurred while the game was tied 7-7 in the second quarter, and the Buccaneers were forced to punt instead of taking the points. Following the mishap, the Cowboys took a 10-7 lead into halftime. With an 0-4 start to the season, the Buccaneers are looking to rebound without starting quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is sidelined with an injury.
