The continued improvement of the Buccaneer defense continued with a win over inter-state rivals Jacksonville, the first time Tampa Bay had won in North Florida.  A 25-0 shutout at half-time was on the back on big defensive plays throughout including Devin White’s fumble return score that came 10 seconds after Peyton Barber’s opening touchdown.  The offense did enough including no interceptions to make sure a second straight win was recorded.
