Well, not sure if the sky is falling but the Buccaneers’ positioning in several rankings across national media outlets sure is.
Tampa Bay dropped their third straight game due to poor defense. As the offense continue to put up points so does the defense which resulted in the firing of defensive coordinator Mike Smith.
It’s uncertain whether or not that’ll turn things around. But at 2-3, something needed to be done. And making a change at defensive coordinator was the right move.
26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Record: 2-3
Week 6 ranking: 22
