The Buccaneers' defensive lapse on the final drive raises concerns for Coach Todd Bowles, who calls for more aggression.

Why it matters: The inability to hold off the Falcons in the closing moments of regulation resulted in a game-tying field goal and ultimately led to an overtime loss for the Buccaneers.

What's new: Coach Todd Bowles expressed disappointment in the defense's performance during the final drive, citing a need for more aggression and physicality.

Yes, but: Despite their strong defensive reputation, the Buccaneers were unable to maintain control and secure the win in a critical situation.

What to watch: The impact of this loss on the team's morale and their approach to future games, particularly in high-pressure situations.

Bowles emphasized the importance of being more aggressive on the final drive and suggested that the defense should have maintained physical contact with the opposing players until the clock expired.

In addition to his critique of the defense, Bowles also voiced his hope for the NFL to review facemask calls or non-calls, referencing a missed facemask call on running back Bucky Irving.

What's next: Bowles' comments highlight the need for the coaching staff and players to address their performance in late-game situations and make necessary adjustments.

He believes that reviewing facemask calls by top officials or at least allowing coaches to participate in the review process would help prevent crucial missed calls.

Our thought bubble: Bowles' remarks reflect the frustration of a coach who expects his defense to perform at a consistently high level.

The bottom line: The Buccaneers must learn from their mistakes and improve their composure and execution in critical moments to avoid similar disappointments in the future.
