Tampa Bay Buccaneers, round one

The Buccaneers entered the season with one of the league’s most stout defenses up front, and that has continued to hold to form throughout the season.

Teams are averaging just 89.0 rush yards per game against Tampa Bay. The 299 total rush attempts are the fewest against any defense in the NFL.

However, that low number isn’t all because of coordinators’ fears of the Bucs front seven.

Tampa Bay has had several injuries in the secondary and allowed 244.6 pass yards per game, 20th in the NFL. At times, that has led to some high-scoring affairs, with half of Tampa Bay’s opponents scoring at least 25 points in games this season.r
