What Chris Godwin's injury means for the Bucs

• Godwin leads the NFL in receptions at 50 and has five touchdowns on the season, tied for second-most.

His fellow all-star wideout, Mike Evans, left the game with a hamstring injury. It's unclear when he'll return to play.

Threat level: The injuries couldn't have come at a worse time for the Bucs, who have lost two of their last three games after a 3-1 start.

• Next up: The division-rival Atlanta Falcons, who are tied with the Bucs atop the NFC South and have already beaten Tampa Bay once this season.
• Then, the Bucs face the two teams from last year's Super Bowl: the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.

Friction point: Head coach Todd Bowles faced criticism for keeping Godwin and the other starters in a game that appeared out of reach.

• Godwin was injured with the Bucs down 10 and only a minute left on the clock.

What they're saying: "We still had a shot to score some points and win this ballgame," Bowles told reporters after the game. "It happens. It happens in football."

What we're watching: There's speculation that the Bucs could trade for an additional receiver, with the Jets' Mike Williams and Titans' DeAndre Hopkins rumored to be available.
