Buccaneers vs Vikings: 3 scariest players to watch out for
By Rob Leeds
In Anthony Harris‘ absence as a ballhawk, Harrison Smith has stepped back into his All-Pro form and should be a formidable opponent this weekend. With eight passes defended and four interceptions, Smith has taken advantage of good throws and bad throws from quarterbacks all season, which could spell disaster for Tom Brady.
Brady has played some shaky games so far this year, most of which have come during the past few weeks. The confidence and consistency that were present during the middle of the season are gone, and some questions have been raised against any above-average competition so far this year.
While Minnesota’s pass rush is not what it once was, Brady could still experience some pressure early one, and Smith will do everything in his power to make a play on any forced throws.
Brady will need to be on top of his game if he hopes to not add to Smith’s stats for the season, which will be especially difficult considering Brady’s struggles with safeties this year.
