The worst offensive players in Tampa Bay’s loss to Buffalo, per PFF

These five offensive players didn’t score high in PFF’s grades for Thursday’s game.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense played a bit better than it did against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7, but it still didn’t perform to a winning standard on Thursday night.

The team lost 24-18 to the Buffalo Bills, and the offense wasn’t able to put a consistent performance together. A last-minute drive was able to put the game within six, but them middle frame saw Tampa Bay struggle overall and fail to capitalize on chances given to them by the Bills. Pro Football Focus graded every offensive player in Thursday’s lost, and some of those players may be a part of the problem if their grades are any indication.

The worst defensive players in Tampa Bay’s loss to Buffalo, per PFF

PFF wasn’t impressed with these five defensive players against the Bills on Thursday.

It ended up a close score between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Buffalo Bills, but the whole game didn’t quite play out that way.

The Bills were in the lead for a majority of the team’s 24-18 loss, and the play of the defense was a big reason why. Tampa Bay still gives up big plays and lacks the ability to get off the field on third down, and those issues are things that will need to be fixed if the Bucs mean to truly compete for the NFC South. Pro Football Focus took to grading every Bucs defensive player, and there are a few that didn’t play stellar in an effort to help fix those issues.

Here are the five lowest-graded defensive players from Thursday’s matchup, per PFF.

It was a rough performance for the defense overall, but PFF had these players as standouts:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a little bit of trouble on Thursday night.

The team lost 24-18 against a high-powered Buffalo Bills offense, and Buffalo took advantage of Tampa Bay’s defense. The Bills converted on a staggering 54% of their third-down scenarios and gave up 427 total yards. The team still managed to be successful in red zone scenarios, but the defense will have to be better in the future with the way that the offense is currently playing.

Nonetheless, Pro Football Focus took to grading every Bucs player on defense and there were a few standouts among the overall lacking performance. Check out PFF’s top defensive grades for Tampa Bay below:

These 10 players got PFF’s highest grades on the Bucs offense Thursday night:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were looking to get back on track against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football, and while they didn’t end up winning, there were still some signs of improvement from their tough loss against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Bucs dropped the game against the Bills 24-18, but the offense managed to look more competent than it did against the Falcons. They only scored 18 points, but with a long season to go, it’s possible that Tampa Bay could trend in the right direction as the experience comes later in the year.

Pro Football Focus graded the team’s offense after their game, and these 10 players were given the highest marks:

PFF deemed these players the worst in a stuttering offense for Week 7’s matchup against the Falcons:

There wasn’t a lot to love about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense in Week 7.

The team lost 16-13 to the Atlanta Falcons in a crucial divisional game, and offensive ineptitude is a big reason why. The team has been generally unable to score in the red zone and has had problems in the running game, causing a huge stall in offensive productivity after the team’s win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. There were some key players on offense, but in the eyes of Pro Football Focus, far more played poorly.

These five players got the worst marks in PFF’s evaluation of the Bucs defense for Week 7:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers held the Atlanta Falcons to just 16 points in Week 7, but looks can be deceiving.

The defense struggled against both the passing game and the run game against the Falcons, and it gave up a huge splash play to tight end Kyle Pitts that would set up the game-winning field goal from kicker Younghoe Koo. And while there were some big contributors to the game that managed to help keep Atlanta out of the red zone, others gave up big yards and allowed the Falcons to feast in the run game.

The worst offensive players in Tampa Bay’s loss to Detroit, per PFF

These five players were graded the worst by PFF on an offense that just scored six points on Sunday.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense has had some occasional troubles over the past few weeks, but nothing like the ones they had on Sunday against the Detroit Lions.

The Bucs could only score six points in a 20-6 loss and were entirely unable to find the end zone. Quarterback Baker Mayfield had his worst performance to date and the run game continued to struggle, averaging just 2.9 yards per carry across the day. Pro Football Focus took to grading every Bucs offensive player, and naturally, there were plenty that didn’t get high marks.

The worst defensive players in Tampa Bay’s loss to Detroit, per PFF

These five players didn’t get high marks from Pro Football Focus for their performance against the Detroit Lions.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers performed admirably on defense against the Lions on Sunday, but that doesn’t mean it was perfect.

The team held the Lions to 20 points, which tied for Detroit’s season low, and managed to stifle the run game to just 1.8 yards per carry. But there were a few lapses in the passing game that allowed the Lions to put up yards, as quarterback Jared Goff threw for over 350 yards against a Bucs defense that is normally strong in the secondary. Pro Football Focus took to grading every Bucs player who played Sunday, and not all of them ended up as big contributors in their eyes.
