TAMPA — Sometimes you can want something too much. That's the way it feels for a Bucs defense searching for ways to create takeaways and level out what has become the worst turnover differential in the NFL.
Their identity is one of a top-flight passing offense and a defense lacking in big-play ability. They move the ball at will, but have committed 21 turnovers. Combine that with just six takeaways — tied for the second fewest in the NFL — and it makes for an ugly minus-15 turnover margin that makes any game difficult to win.
There's no question there is frustration among defensive players.
