Koetter gives play-calling duties back to OC after Bucs' 3-point dud

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said Friday that he's handing play-calling duties back to his offensive coordinator one week after assuming the responsibility, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

Todd Monken will call the offense when the Buccaneers take on the New York Giants on Sunday.

Koetter called plays last week when the Buccaneers produced three points in a loss to the Redskins. He dodged postgame questions about why he took the responsibility away from Monken. Tampa registered 501 yards of offense against Washington but failed to come away with anything more than a field goal.

The Bucs lead the NFL in yards per game, but rank a more modest 12th in scoring offense. They've lost six of their last seven games, and are 3-6 for the season.
