The situation was exacerbated when right tackle Sam Young sustained a knee injury and guard Gabe Jackson was ejected from the game in the third quarter.
"We did the best we could," said left tackle Kolton Miller regarding the circumstances coming into the game. "Weird time, anyone can go down at anytime … we just have to find a way to gel together and get the job done."
Derek Carr also credited the offensive line for being able to prepare for this game. Carr threw for 284 yards and two touchdowns, adding 19 yards on the ground. With the lack of preparation the offensive line had, a couple of miscues resulted in the top-ranked Buccaneers defense sacking Derek Carr three times.
"I want to say how proud I am of that offensive line, not just the starters, but the backups also for the week they had," said Carr after his 100th career start. "Football is a game that needs to be practiced, football is a game of team, and when you don't have all your guys out there, it's tough throughout the week.
"Very proud of them for how they played coming in against multiple fronts, multiple blitz operation that (the Buccaneers) are and being able to play the way they played. They did a fantastic job."
The Silver and Black will be looking to bounce back next week as they travel to FirstEnergy Stadium to play a 5-2 Cleveland Browns team coming off a win to their cross-state rival Cincinnati Bengals.
