Bucs outside linebacker Shaq Barrett may not have been 100 percent on Sunday, but Tampa Bay was happy to have him back. While Barrett only played 31 snaps, his lowest total of the season, he still found a way to make an impact. With the Bucs up 24-0, the Eagles were attempting to respond when Barrett’s interception essentially ended the game.

On a desperation fourth down pass attempt by Philly at the Eagles 46, Barrett dropped into coverage. Jalen Hurts tried to float a touch pass over his head, but the Bucs outside linebacker elevated and deflected the ball to himself with one hand. After securing the pick, Barrett’s 17-yard return nearly put Tampa Bay in field goal range. On the next play, Tom Brady found Mike Evans from 36 yards out for a 31-0 lead.

“Man, that was the play of the year by Shaq Barrett,” Evans said after the game. “That’s not an ordinary play by a defensive lineman/outside linebacker. Unbelievable play by him. Really kind of iced the game for us, I think. We score after that, [quarterback] Tom [Brady] changed my route, actually. Good thing he did because it led to a touchdown.”

Barrett had zero pressures on Sunday, his first game this year without a pressure. But he also only rushed on 20 snaps, and the Bucs were extremely cautious in their rush lanes to not let Hurts out of the pocket. Barrett only dropped into coverage twice, but made the Eagles pay when he did. Head coach Bruce Arians loved the interception, but was even more impressed with how Barrett moved on the return.

“He looked healthy as hell when he was running, didn’t he?” Arians said. “He was [on a pitch count], both he and ‘JPP’ (Jason Pierre-Paul). That’s what’s nice about having that five-man rotation. Being able to use all of those guys and have fresh bodies out there chasing Jalen [Hurts] around.”
