Bowles says the Buccaneers will learn from their mistakes in overtime loss to division-rival Falcons

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have no one to blame but themselves for failing to take advantage of an opportunity to tighten their grip on first place in the NFC South. Instead, the three-time defending division champions share the top spot with Atlanta after allowing the Falcons to drive for a tying field goal in the closing seconds of regulation, then score a touchdown in overtime for a 36-30 victory that left the Bucs struggling for words to describe what happened. The Bucs and Falcons both have 3-2 records.
