Hindsight is always 20/20, but it is easy to question the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ decision to have their starters in during the final minute of Monday’s 41-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, especially after Chris Godwin suffered a significant injury.
But head coach Todd Bowles explained the wide receiver wanted to be on the field.
“It’s unfortunate he got hurt, and we feel bad about that,” Bowles told reporters. “But he’s a football player and he wanted to be in the game just like Baker [Mayfield] and everyone else wanted to be in the game.”
