Brady kicked one of the NFL's top defenses
I did a little research on Washington and honestly they were a top defense because of who they played not because they were good.
Before last night they had 5 games allowing 30 or more points, those teams were Cleveland (34 pts), Ravens (31 pts), Cardinals (30 pts), Rams (30 pts), Lions (30 pts) and last night made it 6. 6 out of 17, basically 1/3 of their games they allowed 30 more points.
Their only good game against a good offense was the Seahawks and the Seahawks offense wasn't even good in the 2nd half of the season. It's why they were one and done. They were so average the 2nd half of the season that they finished 17th in offense. To put that in perspective
Sehawks scored 169 points (40 of those came against the jest) over the 2nd half of the season, Pats scored 160 in the 2nd half of the season.
The rest of WFT's opponents were
Eagles x2 24th ranked offense
Giants x2 30th ranked offense
Cowboys x2 14th ranked offense
Steelers 24th ranked offense
49ers 15th ranked offense
Bengals 29th ranked offense
Panthers 21st ranked offense
Basically the Bucs did what they should have. The issue with this game was that defense letting Washington stay in it. Only defenses that allowed more than 23 points to that offense were the Cowboys 2x, Eagles and Lions. So Bucs were close to that threshold. Washington is the 30th ranked offense. So that's gotta be a cause for a concern. Not sure if it was having only 20 snaps of film of Heinicke in that offense or what. With the Rams or Saints up next if you're a Bucs fan that's gotta be a tad concerning especially since it is following a trend that the Bucs defense hasn't really been that good.In 8 out of their last 10 games they've allowed 23 or more points, the 2 times they didn't was against the Lions (with No Stafford and pretty much no coaching staff) and Vikings
