It wasn’t exactly smooth sailing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ defense on Monday.
While the Bucs were able to force some red zone field goals and a turnover on downs against the Philadelphia Eagles in their 25-11 loss, the team had a tough time limiting yards. Tampa Bay gave up 472 total yards and a staggering 201 rushing yards, allowing Philadelphia to generally control the game the whole way through. Pro Football Focus took to grading every Bucs player who played in the game, and their defensive grades didn’t reflect well on the team’s overall performance.
Here are PFF’s top 10 performers in Week 3 for Tampa Bay:
