The folks at Pro Football Focus have released their grades from the Bucs' 19-14 loss Thursday night at home to the New England Patriots, and I don't think you'd argue much with how they graded New England in the victory or Tampa Bay in the defeat.
The top grades on both sides went to offensive linemen: New England guard Shaq Mason received a grade of 87.7, while Bucs center Ali Marpet one-upped him, scoring an 88.3 from the group. The Patriots also got good reviews from Tom Brady (naturally) and Danny Amendola, while Tampa Bay's Desean Jackson and Doug Martin were also highlighted.
