The Buccaneers’ secondary has been the punching bag of the 2019 season for Bucs fans and it’s not even close. Yes, Jameis Winston has gotten his share of hate and criticism, but the secondary is where the targets land. Their play could have masked some of the offense’s missteps and certainly could have boosted the Bucs’ 2-6 record to something far more respectable.
Instead, the Bucs are the NFL’s worst pass defense. They’ve blown leads in all six losses, four of which ended as one possession games. Sunday was just the latest example where the Bucs had a fourth quarter lead and the defense allowed a late score, and lost the game.
