Falcons vs. Buccaneers: Will Tampa’s Underdogs Topple the NFC South Titans Once More?
While Tampa Bay has been much better at pressuring opposing quarterbacks in recent weeks, it may have come at the expense of its run defense. Since Week 10, the Bucs are allowing an average of 4.73 yards per rush – nearly a yard more than they were before their bye (3.88).
And against inside zone, they’re allowing an average of 3.4 yards before contact – tied for the third highest in the NFL.
They could have cornerback Jacob Parrish and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. ready to provide support. Winfield is ninth in the league with a 71.9 run defense rating among qualified safeties, while Parrish ranks 11th with a 71.3 rating among CBs.
