Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Atlanta Falcons game is not the place to be for fans of stingy defenses

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers must be licking their chops for the chance to go against the Atlanta defense. Then again, the Falcons' offense is surely just as pumped to get on the field against the Bucs. A fan of stingy defenses? You've come to the wrong place. The scoreboard at Mercedes-Benz Stadium figures to get a workout Sunday in the matchup between NFC South rivals. Tampa Bay (2-2) has surrendered more points per game than any team in the league (34.75), while the Falcons (1-4) are right on their heels with an average of 32.6. The Bucs' defensive woes have put the heat on coordinator Mike Smith, a former head coach of the Falcons. Smith's boss, Dirk Koetter, has resisted calls to make a change.
