1a. The Bucs are coming off their bye week, which was the last, best opportunity to make some minor alterations to their offense.
The issue all season has been Tom Brady’s lack of efficiency when throwing downfield—at one point an 0-for-19 streak on passes traveling 20-plus yards. But overall in 2020, Brady’s downfield accuracy hasn’t been disastrous. He’s hitting 28.1% on throws beyond 20 yards, which is not far off his career average of 30.3%. But he’s being asked to throw downfield more often than he ever has. So far in 2020, he’s averaging 5.33 attempts of 20-plus yards per game.
