The entire community of Tampa Bay and fans of the Buccaneers if any other outcome would have happened, but save your torches and pitchforks for another time. Outside linebacker Shaq Barrett has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Month for September as he is already just one sack away from reaching double-digits already through just four games.
Barrett is tied for the highest graded player on the Bucs’ roster with wide receiver Chris Godwin according to Pro Football Focus (subscription required), and giving him this NFC award was a no-brainer from the league.
