Offensive Line

If there was one thing that could be said in defense of Cutler’s poor outing, it would be the lack of pass protection by the offensive line. Things were a bit shaky along the line of scrimmage in the first half, then things got worse when Kyle Long and Bobby Massie (the right side of the O-line) both left the game with an ankle injury and a concussion respectively. All four sacks that the Buccaneers recorded was by their defensive line. The silver lining around this storm cloud was the fact that they managed to pave the way for a 100-yard rusher.
