The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been firing on offense, but it hasn't mattered all that much.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers brought in offensive coordinator Liam Coen last season to replace offensive coordinator Dave Canales, who ended up taking a job as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers. And boy, has he delivered in that respect, as Tampa Bay is one of the best offenses in the league and quarterback Baker Mayfield is on pace to shatter his single-season best for passing touchdowns.
FOX Sports' Greg Auman recently posted a stat on social media that shows just how poor Tampa Bay's defense has been. Despite leading the NFL in scoring from Weeks 5-8 with 138 points, the Bucs are 1-3 in that span — the only NFL team in the top 19 in average scoring to have a losing record: Liam Coen is doing a great job as offensive coordinator, and he still managed to put up 24 points in a game where he was down his two best wideouts in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. But the defense simply has to be better, and that burden falls on head coach Todd Bowles, who calls defensive plays.
