As Head Coach Bruce Arians has said time and time again, never apologize for a win – even if that win came down to a nail-biting last-second field goal in your home opener.
That's what happened to the Buccaneers as they kicked off the 2021 NFL season at home against the Dallas Cowboys, eeking by on a 31-yard field goal with two seconds left on the clock.It took an absolutely clinical drive by quarterback Tom Brady, who got the ball back with 1:24 down one point, to get Tampa Bay into field goal range but thanks to two chunk plays on a snag by tight end Rob Gronkowski and redemption grab by wide receiver Chris Godwin, kicker Ryan Succop was given a manageable situation.
