KEY POINTS

  • Buccaneers beat Falcons 16-0 with zero pass completions
  • Tampa Bay set a team record with 324 rushing yards
  • Bucky Irving ran for 170 yards and a touchdown
  • Kenny Gainwell gained 140 yards on 25 carries

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 16-0 on Sunday in wet, sloppy conditions without completing a single pass. Baker Mayfield went 0 for 3 and threw more downfield blocks than completions.

Tampa Bay rushed for 324 yards, setting a team record for rushing yards in a game. Bucky Irving ran for 170 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries, while Kenny Gainwell added 140 yards on 25 carries.

“I'll do whatever it takes to win. That's all that matters to me.”

— Baker Mayfield

Chase McLaughlin kicked three field goals and remained perfect for the season at 19 for 19. Irving's 4-yard touchdown run in the third quarter gave the Buccaneers a 16-0 lead.

Mayfield handed off the ball 52 times in his second game back after missing three weeks with a fractured thumb. He also scrambled for 13 yards and blocked Jessie Bates III on a 28-yard run by Gainwell in the fourth quarter.

Atlanta's Michael Penix Jr. completed 8 of 24 passes for 125 yards with four interceptions. Bijan Robinson was held to 76 yards on 19 carries.

The Buccaneers became the first team with zero completions since Buffalo on September 29, 1974. Tampa Bay's previous rushing high was 283 yards against Philadelphia on November 22, 2015.

Mayfield said he would do whatever it takes to win and that blocking was his way to stay active when not throwing the ball.
