"With two minutes remaining, Chase McLaughlin attempted to make his fifth field goal of the game. But pass rusher Will McDonald blocked the kick and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown. Nick Folk's extra point was good and the Jets led 27-26 with 1:49 remaining. That left Mayfield and the Buccaneers enough time to try and get in field goal range. Emeka Egbuka's 28-yard catch put Tampa Bay in field goal range."
"It was a penalty fest early in the first quarter for both teams. The Jets and Buccaneers combined for a total of 10 penalties in the first quarter. Tampa Bay was also called for five holding penalties on one drive. The amount of penalty flags angered Buccaneers fans, and they proceed to chant, "Ref, you suck." Both teams exchanged field goals in the first quarter. Folk also made a 42-yard field goal early in the second quarter and that gave the Jets a 6-3 lead."
Chase McLaughlin's 36-yard field goal as time expired gave the Buccaneers a 29-27 victory, handing the Jets their third consecutive loss to start 2025. Will McDonald blocked a McLaughlin attempt and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown, briefly putting the Jets ahead. Tyrod Taylor, starting in relief of Justin Fields, completed 26-of-36 passes for 197 yards with a touchdown, an interception and two turnovers. The Jets managed just 90 total yards in the first half, Tampa Bay recorded four sacks, and penalties repeatedly created scoring opportunities.
