Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Defensive tackle Vita Vea was selected in the first round this year by Tampa Bay. He finally made his NFL debut in the fourth game of the season. On October 21 against Cleveland, he made his first NFL start as well as his first NFL tackle. Vea replaced Gerald McCoy, who was out with a calf injury. The Bucs won 26-23 to snap a three-game losing streak.
Tampa fired defensive coordinator Mike Smith after the third loss and replaced by linebackers coach Mark Duffner. If Vea stays healthy he should see plenty of action.
Carolina Panthers: Shaq Thompson, the Cats strongside linebacker has played well in his last three games. He has ten solo tackles which include six against Philadelphia in a 21-17 win. The previous week Thompson picked up his second sack of the season.
