The top defensive players in Tampa Bay’s win over Jacksonville, per PFF
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense created a nightmare before Christmas for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Bucs had four turnovers against the Jaguars and held them to just 12 points, most of which came in garbage time. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence was stifled the entire game, throwing two interceptions and fumbling once, and the defense held Jacksonville’s run game to just 2.8 yards per carry across the whole day. Pro Football Focus certainly took notice, giving the defense high marks across the board. They were particularly impressed with Devin White, who made a big splash on the return to the gridiron.
Here are PFF’s 10 highest-rated defensive players from Tampa Bay’s Week 16:
LB Devin White
