The Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced significant issues in their recent game against the Atlanta Falcons, particularly on defense. They allowed a staggering 502 passing yards to Kirk Cousins, which contributed to a dramatic comeback by the Falcons.
Linebacker K.J. Britt, who received increased playing time due to an injury to SirVocea Dennis, struggled notably, earning a low grade from Pro Football Focus. Coach Todd Bowles acknowledged Britt's challenges and emphasized the need for improved communication and tackling within the defense.
As the Buccaneers prepare for their next matchup against the New Orleans Saints, changes may be necessary to enhance their defensive performance and avoid providing opponents with a strategy to exploit their weaknesses.
