The rebounded against the with a fairly convincing victory in primetime for Thursday Night Football in Week 8. One statistic I love looking at is third-down conversions, and they tell quite the tale for this game. Why do I love them so? The number of third downs faced is a decent indicator of how often a team was held in check on first- and second downs. And the percentage of third downs gained then becomes a good metric for stops.
The Buccaneers had 15 third-down attempts, which is a little high but not crazy for a single game.
