It wasn’t a common occurrence in 2015 for the Buccaneers defense to be the key to a victory.

Week 10 was one of the few games where the offense wasn’t leaned on to win the game as the Bucs defense held Dallas to under 300 yards and out of the end zone completely.

Dez Bryant was stifled all afternoon and backup Matt Cassel couldn’t quite get the job done despite the fact Tampa Bay only put up 10 points themselves.

In the end, Lavonte David once against led the way on defense with his 12 tackles and one key sack.

Jameis Winston’s two interceptions didn’t go far in securing the win, but his heroic rushing touchdown was all that was needed to secure the Bucs’ fourth win of the year.
