Despite the Tampa Bay Buccaneers being just 8-8 and narrowly making the playoffs by clinching the NFC South for a second straight year, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich believes the team's struggles have been overblown.

Leftwich told reporters he felt like many around the league were prematurely writing off the Bucs:

"I think there's been moments where we really haven't been that bad. I think you guys overexaggerated because we look different. The numbers say that we're not that far off. We're off on third down and red zone. It's disappointing, those two things for us as a team with who we have.
