Tampa Bay Buccaneers struggle with tackling issues during the season

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing significant challenges with missed tackles, having recorded a 13.7% missed-tackle rate, ranking 28th in the NFL. The team has missed 71 tackles out of 516 attempts, which has contributed to their defensive struggles. Despite having capable players, the Buccaneers need improvement in fundamentals and positioning to address this issue. Poor tackling has resulted in opponents converting crucial third downs and extending drives. Better tackling may not resolve all defensive issues but could enhance the defense's effectiveness in stopping plays.
