Although they faced the league's best defense just two weeks ago vs. the Browns, the Bucs are not going to be any easier.

Patriots have a quick solution to end worsening offensive problem this season

To the naked eye, when a quarterback takes a lot of sacks, the offensive line gets the brunt of the blame. The one black mark on the New England Patriots' six-game winning streak has been Drake Maye taking sacks, as the second-year passer has been sacked 15 times over the last 11 quarters. That certainly isn't sustainable for a team looking to surprise the NFL landscape by winning the AFC East, which the Patriots have an excellent chance of doing.

Cowboys vs. Broncos: Week 8 matchups to watch

While this matchup is worth monitoring, the one between Dak Prescott and Denver's pass rush could be more important. The Broncos are the best pass rushing unit in the league right now. They lead the NFL in sacks (34), QB hits (65), QB pressures (125), and QB pressure percentage (47.2). Keeping Prescott clean an upright in the pocket could be paramount to success in Week 8.

Patriots' new trade opportunity could change their entire defensive rebuild

The New England Patriots' defense is clearly a strong unit, as they rank in the top ten in points allowed per game. Their run defense has been particularly impressive, as the additions of Milton Williams and Harold Landry have helped support the defensive line. Rookie Joshua Farmer and free agent Khyiris Tonga have also gotten plenty of opportunities, and the unit holds teams to less than 84 yards on the ground per game. No rusher has eclipsed 50 yards against them this season.

Mocks are going to have the Cowboys going defense for a while

Bailey has been a force off the edge this season, and he leads the FBS with a 24.6% pressure rate to go along with 8.5 sacks, which are tied for first. He is a constant disruptor who can win with speed or power. And with Micah Parsons now in Green Bay, the Cowboys need a potent pass-rushing presence outside, which Bailey could provide. Dallas' 11 sacks are tied for 22nd in the NFL, and that defense is giving up 6.2 yards per play, which ranks 30th.

After the NFL Draft in April, Giants coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen often used one word to describe their picks: toughness.

We have to be aggressive, Daboll said. I told Shane to be aggressive. Don't hold anything in your holster. Go after them. It worked.

The New England Patriots' defense overall had a solid game against Carolina. One player who's beginning to assert himself and is getting back into top form is defensive lineman Christian Barmore. While his stats are not earth-shattering, Barmore is starting to make a difference on the defensive line, along with his teammate, Milton Williams. The defensive line is generating solid pressure on opposing quarterbacks, led by edge rushers Harold Landry III, K'Lavon Chaisson, and defensive tackles Barmore and Milton Williams, the top free agent signee.
