Tampa Bay’s defense was a major contributor to the Bucs’ second-half dominance, allowing just 206 total yards on the afternoon, the fewest allowed in a game this year. The Chargers failed to convert on all six third-down attempts and both fourth-down attempts. During their four-game winning streak, the Buccaneers allowed just 15.0 points per game, the fewest in the NFL during that span.

Linebackers Lavonte David led this defensive attack with a classic David performance, leading the team with 12 tackles and 1.5 sacks along with three quarterback hits. One of those hits, against Justin Herbert, resulted in a fluttering downfield pass that was intercepted by the cornerback Jamel Deanwho ended a streak of 11 straight games without an interception by Herbert.

David’s 1.5 sacks increased his career total to 39.0 and allowed him to tie David Logan for sixth place on the team’s all-time list in that category. He also surpassed 100 tackles this season, marking the 11th time in 13 seasons that he reached triple figures in that category. David is now the only player in the NFL to currently have more than 100 tackles, at least five sacks and at least three forced fumbles. David is one of only four NFL players in the last decade to post this combination of statistics in a season, along with teammate Antoine Winfield Jr. (2023), as well as Shaquille Leonard (2018) and Thomas Davis (2015).
