Buccaneers historically bad defense will define 2018 season

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on pace to make history, for all the wrong reasons.

So far this season, the Buccaneers have allowed a whopping 275 points, which translates to 34.4 points per game. If the Bucs continue that pace, they will surpass the 1981 Baltimore Colts’ NFL record for most points allowed in a season (533).

Tampa Bay has attempted to turn the defense around. The organization moved on from defensive coordinator Mike Smith a few weeks ago. But all the coaching changes in the world cannot fix the issues that litter the unit.
