TAMPA, Fla. -- With no Jameis Winston, no Mike Evans and not much hope heading into the second half of their season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers snapped a five-game losing streak with a 15-10 win over the New York Jets, showing that if they have any shot of salvaging their season to some level of respectability, it will be because of their defense.
They were able to generate pressure, getting a season-high six sacks from newcomers Will Clarke and Darryl Tapp, and Robert Ayers, Gerald McCoy and Clinton McDonald.
