The GOAT takes on Mr. Irrelevant when the Buccaneers travel to San Francisco for an NFC showdown with the 49ers
Nothing has come easy for Tampa Bay this season. Last week, it took a 14-point fourth-quarter comeback to get by the struggling Saints. The team averages the sixth-fewest points per game in the league and is the only offense without 1,000 yards rushing on the year. This puts more pressure on Brady and the passing game, which has been nowhere near as prolific as it was his first two years with the Bucs.
The Tampa Bay defense has kept the team competitive. It allows the fifth-fewest points , seventh-fewest passing yards and is about league average against the run. In regulation, the unit has held its last four opponents under 20 points—the Browns broke 20 in overtime. The Buccaneers are also adept at getting to the quarterback with the fourth-most sacks this season .. Purdy threw for 210 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in relief and the offense added 121 yards on the ground last week.
