After Connor Barth missed a 56-yard field goal that would have put the Bucs ahead with 3:32 left Sunday, a few teammates half-jokingly asked the Bucs kicker if everything was all right. "I guess I set the bar high last season," Barth said. When you have been as good as Barth, that's the burden you bear. Perfection starts to become the expectation. (Tampa Bay Times)
