The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell 19-0 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in their preseason finale, but the defensive front recorded four sacks during the contest. Rookie Jack Pyburn led the team with two sacks, three tackles for loss, and a pass breakup. Anthony Nelson and Josiah Green each added a sack to the team total. David Walker did not record a sack but consistently pressured the Jacksonville backfield, building on a performance trend established throughout the preseason. This development provides the coaching staff with a rotation of pass rushers as they transition into the regular season. Tampa Bay intends to reduce reliance on blitz packages from head coach Todd Bowles by utilizing a more versatile group of defenders along the line.
