Lavonte David Has a Nose for the Ball

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have scored just 14 points off turnovers in the last two games, both narrow losses. All of those points have come courtesy of a Lavonte David forced fumble and a Lavonte David fumble recovery.

David pulled off that two-part play in Arizona on October 15, stripping the ball from running back Adrian Peterson and then picking it up and running 21 yards for a touchdown. That was part of a furious fourth-quarter rally that ultimately came up short in a 38-33 loss to the Cardinals. On Sunday in Buffalo, David knocked the ball out of the grasp of LeSean McCoy, then recovered it at close to midfield.
