Looking at the last three weeks, the defense has had to face Russell Wilson, Philip Rivers and Drew Brees; to hold those three signal callers to a total of 633 passing yards, 2 TDs and intercept them a total of 7 times while getting 9 sacks and forcing the group to complete only 57% of their attempts (57 of 100) is remarkable. Can you say "DEFENSE"? It sure does feel good to boast about the defense again.
Defensively, the Bucs rank 3rd in interceptions with 14, only three teams have more, the Bengals and Panthers each have 15, while the Chargers have 16. They rank 14th is opposing passer rating, with an 88.7. They rank 9th in opposing QB completion percentage. They rank 16th in total passing yards per game. They rank 2nd in 3rd down percentage, allowing, opposing offenses to convert on 34%, the Ravens currently rank 1st holding opponents to a mere 33% conversation rate on third down.
