    Lavonte David's late shove of Geno Smith will be the play Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans remember most from Sunday's 18-17 loss to the New York Jets.

    With good reason, too -- the Jets were dead in the water if David let Smith step out of bounds without incident. But it was hardly the only mistake by a sloppy Bucs team that regressed to its "youngry" roots at MetLife Stadium.

    After the game, David maintained he did nothing wrong.

    "That's the way our defense is, we just play aggressive, we just play physical," David said, via the Tampa Bay Times. "You're going to get those calls and you may feel like that's not the right call but you can't do anything about it. You can't let it change the way you play the game."

    Safety Mark Barron was similarly unapologetic about his hit of a defenseless receiver that led to a 15-yard penalty.

    "Do I feel bad about it? No," Barron said. "Because I was just playing football. I hate that it happened and I'm going to hate the letter that comes with it."
