Stat Shots: The Good, the Bad & The Unusual

In 2017, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers scored 86 points off takeaways. That's quite good! Only five teams in the NFL did better in that regard. Those same Buccaneers also turned the ball over 27 times on offense, and that's not very good at all. Only five teams gave it away more often.

As far as turnovers go overall, the '17 Buccaneers finished almost even, with a negative-one ratio, though at one point in November they were as high as plus-seven. That's not too strange; turnover ratio obviously fluctuates throughout a season from game to game. What is unusual is that on three different occasions in 2017 the Buccaneers had a positive turnover ratio in a game but still lost.
