TAMPA — They are called explosives, those big-bang plays that detonate and destroy the game.
The NFL defines them as runs of 10 yards or more and passes of 20-plus yards.
The Bucs already have given up 13 in two games .
In fact, the Bucs already have yielded three pass plays of more than 50 yards —- fifty! — or as many as all of 2015.
"We've had 12 plays that have gone for over 400 yards (combined)," Bucs defensive coordinator Mike Smith said. "Sometimes they're missed tackles, sometimes they're missed assignments and sometimes they're bad calls by me.
