Worst defensive players in Bucs win over Packers, per PFF

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense continues to hold teams at bay in the red zone and keep points down, but that doesn’t mean the unit is devoid of problems.

The team still gives up plenty of yards in the secondary, allowing Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love to throw for 284 yards and two touchdowns while completing over 70% of his passes. Another huge problem is the lack of pressure from the pass rush, and that’s something that Pro Football Focus narrowed in on when releasing their Bucs defensive grades for Week 15.

Here are the five lowest-graded Bucs players by PFF for their game against Green Bay:
