If the defense “showing out” in a game where they allowed 40 points seems strange, that’s because it is. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense may have been liberal when it came to points, but they forced four turnovers during the game.

Solo tackles in a game is not a sexy statistic and it never has been. However, M.J. Stewart and Kevin Minter led the team with nine each; no sacks, no tackles for loss, just two players roving the field and finding the man with the ball.
