Kyle Rudolph Catches 50th Career Touchdown Before Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kyle Rudolph caught his only target for an eight-yard touchdown but suffered a knee injury that kept him out of the remainder of the game. The 33-year-old tight end totaled just three catches for 28 yards in five games played this season, but he was able to record the 50th […]

Chris Godwin Catches Six Passes In Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin caught six of his seven targets for 55 yards in the Week 18 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Many of the Tampa Bay didn't play or were pulled early, but Godwin evidently gave it a go so he could reach 100 catches and 1,000 yards on the season. […]

Mike Evans Sits Out Meaningless Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans didn't play during the Week 18 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The superstar wideout sat out as did a majority of the starters as the team already clinched the 4th-seed in the playoffs. He should operate as the primary deep-threat for this offseason during the Wild-Card round against […]

Rachaad White Plays First Drive On Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White only played during the first drive of Sunday's Week 18 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie back was pulled out early during this game because the team already clinched the 4th-seed in the playoffs. That being said, White saw four carries for 15 yards during the first […]

Leonard Fournette Gets Barely Involved

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette was barely seen during Sunday's Week 18 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. The Bucs already clinched the 4th-seed, so they didn't want to potentially hurt any of their starters before the playoffs. That being said, Fournette didn't any see rushing attempts and hauled in one reception for four […]

Tom Brady Throws Touchdown In Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady saw minimal action during the Sunday's Week 18 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. The Bucs already clinched the 4th-seed, so they didn't want to risk Brady getting injured before the playoffs. He completed 13-of-17 passing attempts for 84 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Brady completed a touchdown […]

Kyle Rudolph Won't Return Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kyle Rudolph (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 18 versus the Atlanta Falcons. Rudolph caught an eight-yard touchdown earlier in the game, giving him his 50th career score. With the catch, Rudolph also became the 99th player to ever haul in a touchdown from Tom Brady.

Blaine Gabbert Relieves Tom Brady Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has been pulled from Sunday's Week 18 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Brady finished 13-for-17 with 84 yards and one touchdown, breaking the NFL's single-season completion record (previously set by Brady himself in 2021). Brady's departure comes as no surprise considering the Buccaneers have secured the NFC's No. 4 […]

Mike Evans Won't Return In Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (illness) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 18 versus the Atlanta Falcons. He did not log a target before exiting. Tampa Bay has already secured the No. 4 seed in the playoffs, so it makes sense that they would exercise extreme caution with their players' […]
