And now there will be two in the Super Bowl next month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Joe wrote about this possibility previously, but it\u2019s worth mentioning since Tampa Bay\u2019s head man is a defense-first guy. Mike Macdonald (Seahawks) and Mike Vrabel (Patriots) will square off in the big game. That\u2019s sort of a win for Todd Bowles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The NFL is a trend kind of league and one trend has seen owners chasing and clinging to offense-first head coaches. That\u2019s about to change a little bit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Those in the anti-Bowles camp might even say it\u2019s now more likely that the Bucs move on from Bowles next year with Sean McDermott or Mike Tomlin, both defense-first head coaches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Regardless, the Bucs defense needs to make a significant improvement in 2026. It can\u2019t get much worse. Having a defense-first head coach with a consistently poor defense is a tough situation for fans to comprehend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Win For Todd Bowles January 26th, 2026 The streak is broken!
