The Buccaneers could have the top defense in the NFL in 2021.
While Tom Brady was a huge part of Tampa Bay’s turnaround during their Super Bowl season, the defense was the real x-factor for the Buccaneers. As a unit, the defense struggled from time to time during the regular season, but they played at the highest level when it mattered the most.
In route to one of the most improbable Super Bowl wins in NFL history, the Buccaneer defense was able to keep Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Patrick Mahomes from taking over games.
