Tom Brady’s fourth-down touchdown pass gives Bucs 10-0 lead over Bengals

Another primetime game, another controversial roughing the passer call, and Mike Florio and Peter King dig into the dynamics that make NFL officiating crews more likely to err on the side of throwing the flag.

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles showed some guts on fourth down, and Tom Brady made it pay off.

Brady threw a touchdown pass to Russell Gage on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line early in the second quarter today, and the Bucs now have a 10-0 lead over the Bengals.

Tampa Bay looks a whole lot better than last week, when an ugly loss in San Francisco raised serious questions about whether the Bucs can be contenders in January.

There’s still a lot of game left to play, but the Bucs are looking good, and the Bengals need to bounce back if they want to hold onto their AFC North lead.
