The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense is allowing the second-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.4) in the NFL and also has the second-most sacks in the league (44). It’s an elite unit and will present a stiff challenge for New York Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson.
With that being said, Wilson can find success by exploiting these two particular holes in Tampa Bay’s defense.
1. Injuries to Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul
Tampa Bay will have to operate without its two starting edge rushers: Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul. Barrett will be sidelined with a knee injury while Pierre-Paul will sit with a shoulder injury.
