The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are currently taking on the Philadelphia Eagles and have a 17-0 lead at halftime. According to Scott Smith of the Buccaneers, this is just the second time the Buccaneers have a first-half shutout in a playoff game.
The Eagles have not been able to get anything going on the offensive side of the ball as they only have 118 total yards and have not found the end zone yet. Tampa Bay's defense has once again shown that they are one of the best in football. The defense will look to do the same thing in the second half.
Tampa Bay has gotten contributions from everybody. Tom Brady and Mike Evans have been the two best. Brady has 159 passing yards and Evans has 61 receiving yards through the first two quarters.
This is a game that the Buccaneers should be able to finish off. They were dominant during the regular season and there was no reason to think that they weren't going to continue their dominance in the playoffs. Any team that is led by Tom Brady in the playoffs is usually going to find success and that's exactly what the Buccaneers are hoping for.
If Tampa Bay's defense can continue playing elite-level football, they are going to be a team that is going to be nearly unstoppable. Brady is always going to put up points and if the Buccaneers can just get stops, there is a great chance that they are going to win another Super Bowl.
