Factoid
The Bucs need to iron out their kicking situation. They not only scored an NFL-low 72 kicking points last year, they also had the least accurate kickers in the league. They started with Mike Nugent, then went to Shane Andrus, and finished up with Connor Barth.
Barth had the one game where he hit 3 field goals from 50-plus yards, tying an NFL record. But otherwise, he also struggled, hitting only 11 of 16 attempts, with four misses inside 45 yards.
Tampa Bay’s team accuracy, by my count, was the worst by any team in the last six years.
