VIDEO: Buccaneers’ Devin White Makes Huge Play Intercepting Trevor Lawrence

The Buccaneers linebacker, amidst some controversy, stepped up to make a big play against the Jaguars.

Despite the drama surrounding Devin White over the past week, which comes after he was a healthy inactive during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last game, he suited up and took the field against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Christmas Eve.

The Buccaneers took a first quarter lead with a field goal, but there wasn't much early scoring beyond that. As the Jaguars were marching down the field to tie the game or take a lead, White was the player to come up with a big interception.

The interception allowed the Buccaneers to take over the ball in good field positioning to eventually score a touchdown as Baker Mayfield found Mike Evans open in the end zone.

This marked White's second interception of the season, as his last one came in Week 3 when the Buccaneers took their first loss of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles. After suiting up, White is also playing in his first game since Nov. 26 against the Indianapolis Colts, making an immediate impact in his return.

It'll be interesting to see what impact White can continue to make in his first game in nearly a month as the Buccaneers have been rolling as a squad, winning each of their last three games. White can't let his controversy or drama slow down the team's momentum.
