The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense faced a challenging outing against the Atlanta Falcons, suffering a 36-30 overtime defeat after a strong performance the previous week. Despite managing to contain the Falcons' rushing attack, they struggled to pressure quarterback Kirk Cousins, who threw for over 500 yards.

Key defensive players were graded, with Yaya Diaby leading the pack at 78.2, while K.J. Britt received the lowest grade at 38.3. The Buccaneers will need to regroup as they continue their season.
