There were certainly some performers on offense in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 27-17 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, but it was the defense that truly disrupted.
The Bucs had six sacks and two turnovers against the Bears, making life very difficult for quarterback Justin Fields and his offense. Pressure was constantly there, routes were being jumped and the run game was utterly stuffed all day, as Chicago had just 67 yards on the ground once the clock hit zeroes. It was an all-in-all dominant performance, and numerous players showed out in the win.
Pro Football Focus graded every Bucs player with meaningful snaps on Sunday, and there were plenty defensive players with high marks. Here are PFF’s 10 highest-graded Bucs defensive players in Week 2:
