ARLINGTON Authentic Ryan Smith Jersey , Texas (AP) — The big plays were there for Tampa Bay and its top-five offense on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. The result: Another prolific offensive performance, and another Buccaneers loss.The Cowboys (9-6) clinched the NFC East with a 27-20 win over Tampa Bay, capitalizing on two critical Buccaneers turnovers and 85 yards rushing from Ezekiel Elliott. Dak Prescott completed 20-of-25 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown, and rushed for another score. Anytime the Buccaneers (5-10) seemed to generate momentum, they were derailed by a flag or turnover.The costliest play came late in the first quarter, when Jameis Winston escaped pressure only to be caught from behind and strip-sacked by Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory. Dallas linebacker Jaylon Smith scooped up the ball and returned it 69 yards for a touchdown.It was Winston's first fumble since returning to the starting lineup in Week 12 against San Francisco."Yeah, that just can't happen," Winston said. "That's the bottom line. It can't happen."A series in the third quarter epitomized the Buccaneers' day. A 33-yard run by Peyton Barber was nullified because of a holding penalty on tight end Antony Auclair. On the next play, a botched handoff from Winston to wide receiver Bobo Wilson was recovered by Gregory at the Tampa Bay 4.The Cowboys scored two plays later to take a 27-13 lead."Two huge plays in that game really swung it," Tampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter said. "We're moving it, going in to possibly score http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/ryan-jensen-jersey , then fumble and they take it all the way back. And then we fumbled on the handoff (to Wilson), and they get the ball on the goal line. That's a 14- to 17-point swing right there."Turnovers were only part of the story. Tampa Bay also committed nine penalties for 72 yards, many of them at crucial moments.On the opening possession, wideout Mike Evans beat Cowboys cornerback Byron Jones deep down the left sideline for a 38-yard completion, putting the Bucs in scoring position. But one play later, center Caleb Benenoch was flagged for holding, and Tampa Bay had to settle for Cairo Santos‘ field goal.On the Cowboys' subsequent drive, defensive tackle Vita Vea sacked Prescott for a 10-yard loss but was flagged for a facemask, setting up first down from the 7. Prescott rushed for a touchdown on the next play."We moved the ball consistently all day, and penalties put us in a bind sometimes," Koetter said. "We overcame some of them. It's frustrating to move the ball like that and not get touchdowns. Against good teams Womens Chris Godwin Jersey , that's what you're supposed to do."Winston hobbled a Bucs first-half drive on a rare block-in-the-back call against the quarterback. And in the 4th quarter, facing a 4th-and-1 from the Dallas 2, Winston lost track of time and Tampa Bay was flagged for delay of game."I thought we were going to get the ball snapped," Koetter said. "We didn't do a good job there."Winston scrambled for 5 yards on the next play, stretching just short of the first down and turning the ball back over to Dallas."I don't know what happened with the clock," Winston said. "I just have to call it faster and get the ball out. I've got to do a better job with operations."Winston finished 34 of 48 for 336 yards and a touchdown, surpassing Ryan Fitzpatrick in the first half for passing yards for the season. Tampa Bay gained just 63 yards on 24 carries. The team's longest run went for just 8 yards. The red-hot Tampa Bay Buccaneers scoff at the notion that their first 2-0 start in eight years is a surprise."I think that's where we expected to be," quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said after throwing for 402 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 27-21 victory over the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles."I don't know if everybody else expected us to be there," the 14th-year pro filling in for suspended starter Jameis Winston said, "but we're just going to continue to ride this momentum."Next up is a prime-time matchup next Monday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Suddenly, what once looked like a potentially tough start to the season with Winston serving a three-game ban for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy is turning into one of the league's best feel-good stories.The Bucs Authentic DeSean Jackson Jersey , coming off a 5-11 finish last season, haven't made the playoffs since 2007."You can't peak too early. We have a lot of football left," receiver DeSean Jackson said. "I just know this team and this locker room is a different team than how we were last year."So are the Eagles (1-1), who fell behind on Jackson's 75-yard TD reception of the first play of the game and never fully recovered.Nick Foles threw for 334 yards and one TD without an interception, however an injury-decimated offense hurt itself with turnovers, penalties and other mistakes.The loss left Eagles coach Doug Pederson in no mood to draw comparisons to last season."I'm not going to go back and pull out old memories," Pederson said. "New team, new faces. We've got our own set of circumstances now."Some things to know about the Bucs' victory over the defending Super Bowl champs:FAST STARTFitzpatrick threw for more than 400 yards and four touchdowns for the second straight week. In addition to teaming with Jackson on the first play from scrimmage, the 35-year-old quarterback connected with tight end O.J. Howard on a 75-yard scoring play in the second quarter.Chris Godwin and Mike Evans had TD catches, too, and Jackson finished with four receptions for 129 yards."It's unbelievable Womens Vita Vea Jersey ," Jackson said of Fitzpatrick, who thrown for 819 yards and accounted for nine TDs in two games. "He's playing out of this world right now."SLOW STARTPhiladelphia's defense yielded 271 yards passing and three touchdowns in the first half. The offense, already playing without Carson Wentz, Alshon Jeffery and Darren Sproles, wasn't helped by losing running back Jay Ajayi, receiver Mike Wallace and left tackle Jason Peters in the first half.Nick Foles wound up throwing for 334 yards, but by the time the Eagles began to move the ball consistently they trailed 27-7."A lot of self-inflicted wounds," Pederson said of his team's sloppy play early."Guys step up all the time and that's what we did," Foles said. "We gave ourselves an opportunity to win this game."NO TIME TO PANICFoles, who stepped in for Wentz after the Eagles lost their starting quarterback to injury late last season, tried to put the loss and the team's offensive woes in perspective."We didn't win every single game last year. I think people forget that www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com ," Foles said. "There's a lot of expectations for us, but we can't put that kind of pressure on ourselves."Nelson Agholor's 2-yard TD reception trimmed Philadelphia's deficit to 27-21 with 2:46 remaining."We had our shots. I just feel like if we had got that ball back one more time, we would have a chance to try to win it," Peters said. "But we were pinned back there with 20 seconds left and we didn't have a lot of options."THE LAST TIMEThe Bucs are 2-0 for only the second time since 2005, when they went on to finish 11-5. They also won their first two on the way to a 10-6 record in 2010, but did not earn a playoff berth.
