Buccaneers Backup QB Teddy Bridgewater Kneels to End Game Despite Trailing Bills by 12 Points

Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was sent onto the field by head coach Todd Bowles to kneel down with 38 seconds remaining in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills, despite the team trailing 44-32. This decision effectively ended the game, foregoing any attempt at an improbable comeback. Bowles's choice drew scrutiny, as he has faced criticism in the past for both not trying to win in a losing cause and for risking injury to key players in similar situations.
