ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - パン職人 Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fought 支援する and had an 適切な時期 to 勝利，勝つ on the final play of the game.

But a slow-starting 罪／違反, poor field position, and 批判的な, self-課すd errors were too much to 打ち勝つ for Tampa Bay (3-4). The Buccaneers dropped their third straight and fourth in five 遠出s with a 24-18 loss to the Buffalo 法案s on Thursday night.

"We showed fight tonight," Mayfield said. "That´s the one thing that we can hang our hats on. We gave it everything we had there at the end. But we have to play better 早期に on. We can´t 傷つける ourselves in too many 状況／情勢s where we´re trying to move the ball. Those 勢い殺し屋s were 批判的な tonight."

Mayfield limped as he walked up the tunnel after 迎える／歓迎するing 法案s quarterback Josh Allen, his 2018 草案 classmate at midfield after the game. Mayfield was 25 of 42 passing for 237 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. He took three 解雇（する）s for the second 連続した game, and was 攻撃する，衝突する 10 times by 法案s pass rushers.

追跡するing 24-10, Mayfield got Tampa Bay to within one 得点する／非難する／２０ when 設立する his 最高の，を越す receiver マイク Evans for a 24-yard touchdown pass on fourth 負かす／撃墜する, and then 変えるd a 2-point pass to tight end Cade Otton with 2:44 remaining, to cap a 17-play 運動 covering 92 yards.

Getting the ball 支援する with 21 seconds left, Mayfield 完全にするd three passes for 20 yards before 試みる／企てるing a あられ／賞賛する Mary from the Bucs 45. His heave reached the end zone, 落ちるing 権利 beside receiver Chris Godwin´s 権利 arm, who was late turning around to find the ball.

"We gave ourselves a chance," Mayfield said. "We were that の近くに. It just shows we are a few plays away. We have the fight. Now we just have the 死刑執行."

Tampa Bay finished with 302 total yards, a small 改良 from 普通の／平均（する）ing 277 yards over the previous four games.

< p class="mol-para-with-font">Godwin had five catches for 54 yards and 得点する／非難する／２０d on a 3-yard touchdown. Evans finished with a season-low 39 yards on three 歓迎会s.

Tampa Bay´s fight to the finish resonated with coach Todd Bowles, but he lamented the 11 刑罰，罰則s, which matched a season high and 妨げるd the Bucs 罪／違反 from finding 勢い through the first three ４半期/4分の1s.

"My 約束 in these guys has never wavered," Bowles said. "I´ll take them anywhere. I´ll take them 負かす／撃墜する an alley. I´ll fight with them any 肉親，親類d of way. I believe in them whole-heartedly. We believe in ourselves as a team. And we know we´ll 押し進める今後 and get better."

Eight of the Buccaneers´ 刑罰，罰則s （機の）カム on 罪／違反, 含むing four 誤った starts against linemen.

"We moved the ball when we didn´t have the 刑罰，罰則s," Bowles said. "We got started late in the game getting some flow going. But the 刑罰，罰則s held us 支援する, and 肉親，親類d of killed the 勢い we had."

The Bucs 罪／違反 also was 妨げるd by an 普通の／平均（する）運動 start at its own 21. Their first touchdown （機の）カム two plays after Antoine Winfield Jr. tipped a pass that was 迎撃するd by 防御の lineman William Gholston at the 法案s 23. Four of Tampa Bay´s other nine series started inside its own 10, 含むing three inside the 5.

Tampa Bay's 弁護 mostly held up にもかかわらず傷害s to both starting 防御の取り組むs. Vita Vea did not play 予定 to a groin 傷害, while Logan Hall was 妨害するd after 傷つけるing his groin during warmups.

The 法案s 得点する／非難する／２０d just two touchdowns on four 運動s inside Tampa Bay's 20, with the other 所有／入手s ending with a field goal and turning the ball over on 負かす／撃墜するs. And the 弁護 kept the 得点する／非難する／２０の近くに in 軍隊ing Buffalo to punt on each of its final four 所有／入手s.

After losing two games in five days, the Bucs have extra time to get ready to play at Houston a week from Sunday.

"It won´t snowball," Bowles said. "We have a lot of leaders in that locker room, a lot of leaders on our coaching staff. We have 約束. We understand how 堅い we play. We just have to play smarter."
