description

Rookie Tampa Bay pass rusher YaYa Diaby was a force to be reckoned with in this matchup with Jacksonville. On one play, Diaby shot off the line and into the backfield to blow up an attempted end-around for a 12-yard loss, bringing the ball carrier down with a shoestring tackle. Later, Diaby collapsed the pocket with a teammate, and knocked the ball out of the quarterback's hands for a fumble, which he then recovered himself to complete the turnover. Diaby finished this one with five tackles, one-and-a-half sacks, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery, as the Buccaneers beat the Jaguars, 30-12, on Dec. 24, 2023.
