The running game got going! Rachaad White busted off 100 yards on 15 carries for 6.7 yards per carry and the team itself managed 125 net rushing yards across the contest for 6.6 yards per carry. That’s a huge improvement from every other game of the season, and it could be a confidence booster going forward.
Unfortunately, just about everything else was bad.
The team appeared to be marred with injuries, with Baker Mayfield suffering a bad ankle injury he’s getting checked out soon and left tackle Tristan Wirfs possibly being hurt as well, as he had one of his worst games as a Buccaneer. Mayfield did not eclipse the 200-yard mark passing in 30 attempts and turned the ball over twice, once with a pick thrown into triple coverage and another time at the end of the game to seal the contest. Mike Evans caught two touchdowns, which is always great, but the Bucs went 1-3 in goal-to-go scenarios and left quite a few points on the board.
In a way, the offense is getting something together, but every time it seems like something clicks, the Bucs take a few steps backward.
