Buccaneers were missing players on defense

Well, let's keep in mind that the Bucs were missing a few guys in that game on defense. Fact of the matter is after losing to the Chiefs the Buccaneers were the hottest team in the NFL and their defense went to another level. Great linebackers with David & White plus the secondary really came of age in post season.

They beat the Saints, Packers & Chiefs, that's something as to when they played the Rams, well, they were a different team and everyone knows that.
