The Bucs averaged the 11th worst opponent completion percentage (66.96%) and still won a Super Bowl. But the defense also buckled down in the postseason and kept opposing quarterbacks to a 59.85% completion percentage in their final three playoff games. “
For sure, efficiency is a valuable data point. Completion percentage against is much more indicative of a good defense than total yards.
