NFL Where the Bucs rank statistically after Week 9
So, uh, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ statistics in comparison to the rest of the league may have taken a big hit after Week 9’s game against the Houston Texans.
The Bucs’ offense got bumped up a tad in most areas due to a very strong performance behind quarterback Baker Mayfield, but defensive rankings absolutely plummeted after giving up 496 total yards to the Texans offense behind quarterback C.J. Stroud. In fact, since the team returned from its bye week in Week 6, its been the worst passing offense in the National Football League. Head coach Todd Bowles has to do something, but as it stands, it doesn’t look like vast improvement is on the table going forward.
Here is how the Bucs compare statistically to the rest of the league:
