The Tampa Bay Buccaneers really wanted to keep Liam Coen, and they almost did something drastic to prevent him from leaving for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The first came at the end of the first half when Bowles let over 10 seconds run off the clock after the Buccaneers reached the red zone. With just 17 seconds, the Buccaneers essentially had to be perfect execution-wise. Fortunately, for Tampa Bay, it ended up scoring a touchdown to knot proceedings up at 10-10 at the break.

Bowles’ choices didn’t ultimately doom the Buccaneers since they scored a touchdown on that final first half sequence and Washington could have bled the clock dry on the final drive regardless of timeouts, but Bowles did not put his team in the best position to succeed by letting clock run.
