Buccaneers already on a torrid pace to start 2019 season
By Cory Kinnan
Although the season is early for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they currently have three players who are setting a fast pace for the rest of the season.
After their 20-14 defeat of the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football primetime, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have improved their record to 1-1 on the 2019 season. They earned their first victory under new head coach Bruce Arians in a much more impressive showing than they put together in week one.
The Buccaneers’ defense has been flying around the field and making plays under defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, and it has led to a higher quality unit than they had a year ago. Next week the Buccaneers will host Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants at Raymond James Stadium in hopes of improving their record onto the right side of .500.
So far in the early season for the pewter and red, three players are currently on a torrid pace to outperform their career numbers to this point. If they keep it up, these three guys could see their first Pro Bowl bids of their careers, and one could earn a massive pay day after signing a one-year deal in Tampa Bay this offseason.
