In order to defeat the Vikings in their own beautiful new home, the Buccaneers are going to have to exploit the weaknesses of their opponent and contain the strengths.
They did this well in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears. In Tampa’s lone regular season game to this point, the Bucs defense was able to flat out stuff their opponent’s very effective run game.
Second-year player Jordan Howard and flashy rookie Tarik Cohen combined for just 20-yards as they simply couldn’t get any consistent space to operate in.
All this, despite the fact star linebacker Kwon Alexander missed all but two series due to a hamstring injury.
