The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost yet another game against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. After the leading Bucs called their consecutive losses an unfamiliar territory, the Pirates continue to struggle. So much so that the legendary Buccaneers linebacker, Warren Sapp, spoke out against the gameplay choices of the captain of the team. He also proposed a harsh consequence for an inadequate play.

Devin White, the 24-year-old fifth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, was the player who made the first-ballot Hall of Famer upset. The reason was the NFC player of the month of September loafed toward Demarcus Robinson. He jogged impassively in the direction of the Baltimore Ravens wide receiver while standing in the middle of the defense.
1000000% inexcusable effort from #GoBucs LB Devin White on this play:

This angered Snapp, who took it to his Instagram account to express his disdain. Sapp announced the play while narrating a videotape of it. âAll right, third-and-9, 10-10 game.â He said that according to Tony Dungy, there are five plays in a game that determine the outcome.
âI want you to watch the effort of the captain right here, No. 45 (White). I want you to watch the captain. How do you show up with your defense on Monday morning with this type of effort? Iâd ask for your âCâ off your chest. ⌠Are you kidding me right now? What is that?â he added. Although the veteran LB found faults with the gameplay, Todd Bowles, Bucsâ HC, played Whiteâs defense. To him, he did not see any loafing.
The Baltimore Ravens won consecutive games at last!

For the first time this season, the Ravens won consecutively after defeating the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Ravens edged out the Bucs in a 27-22 victory. Lamar Jackson, the winning teamâs lead QB, passed for 238 yards and two touchdowns in the second half.
This is the first time since 2002 that the seven-time Super Bowl-winning Brady finds himself on a three-game losing streak. However, for the Ravens, Jackson feels they are âvery closeâ to winning all the other future games.
