Bucs' Mike Jenkins: Secondary's lack of focus is 'something we can correct'

TAMPA, Fla. -- Cornerback Mike Jenkins has a simple explanation for a difficult question troubling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' secondary: Why have quarterbacks moved the ball so well of late?

"I would say a lack of focus," Jenkins said Monday. "We've got to hold ourselves to higher standards, look in the mirror and just get it right. It's just a lack of focus."

The lack of attention to detail was clear Sunday, when Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins diced the Bucs for a season-high 317 yards passing and three touchdowns as Tampa Bay squandered a 24-point lead.
