Through the first three weeks of the season, the Bucs have surrendered an average of 66.0 rushing yards per game to running backs. That may explain the limited use of Jordan Howard in the ground game. Howard had just 11 carries for 25 yards. However, Tarik Cohen picked up the slack in both the running and passing games. Cohen led the team with 53 rushing yards on 13 carries, and caught seven passes for 121 yards (both game-highs) and a touchdown.
