Stingy defense

The Bucs came out of the weekend tied for the No. 1 scoring defense.

The Steelers and Bucs are limiting opponents to 15.6 points. The Bucs are on pace to allow their fewest points since 2002, which, as you know, was a pretty dang good year.

And here's a tidbit to go along with that stat: Tampa Bay has limited four opponents to single digits in points. St. Louis (3 points), Carolina (7) and Atlanta (7 and 3).

And while we're on the topic of the defense, anyone else notice Chris Redman's 0.0 quarterback rating on Sunday? I didn't think I'd ever see that from a quarterback who played an entire game. That might be one of the ugliest stats I've ever seen. Guess that's what happens when your final line looks like this: 4 for 15, 34 yards, one sack, two INTs and no touchdown passes.

Ouch! My eyes!
