Last offseason I was in and out of threads saying that the Bucs defense had top 5 potential going into the 2020 season. They showed for the entire second half of 2019, but people stay focused on certain stats. Stats were skewed because they were as bad in the first half of 2019 as they were in 2018. They were bound to get even better going into the second year of Todd Bowles’ system. The only period that their defense had a slump was after they lost Vita Vea and one of their corners. Once those two guys came back before the playoffs they were humming again. Their defense is the reason they won the SB!! Brady did what he had to do, but defense wins championships.
