Buccaneers defensive grades at the first quarter mark

Related Topics: Buccaneer

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense is terrible.

Currently, the Bucs have allowed the most points in the league (139) and the second-most yards per game (445). Teams are averaging just shy of 35 points per game. That’s atrocious.

In no way is the performance that Tampa Bay fans witnessed in the first quarter of the season going to lead to many victories. Things need to change fast if the season is going to turn around.

A historic offense masked the issues during the first two weeks, but the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears exposed the Buccaneers.
