New England has won their first two games by a total of five points while Tampa Bay has lost their two games by a total of three. Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano knows his team must find a way to close out games and turn their situation around in a hurry.
"We're close. Close isn't good enough, we've got to get over the hump," Schiano said.
Schiano was recommended for the head coaching job by Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, as he's built a relationship with the second-year coach since his son Stephen played for Schiano at Rutgers.
"I have a lot of respect for coach Schiano," Belichick said. "I think he's done an excellent job. We certainly had good work with him, here, in the preseason. I think his team's well prepared. They're a couple plays away from being 2-0. That's the way we look at it. I think he's an outstanding coach."
Schiano returned the compliments.
"I think the common passion for the game of football and what it's done for our lives is what brought us together, that and his son playing for us at Rutgers," Schiano said. "And then, he's a great coach. He's another Hall of Famer. So you're looking at certainly a challenge for all of us going up there to Foxborough."
