Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers complete win against Falcons with statistics not seen since 1933

Tampa Bay secured a 16-0 shutout victory over Atlanta by relying exclusively on a dominant ground attack. The Buccaneers became the first team to win a game without a single completion while rushing for over 300 yards since 1933, and the first to win by double digits without a completion since 1945.

Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell made history as the first duo to each record at least 25 carries and 125 rushing yards in the same contest. Irving finished with 170 yards and a score, while Gainwell added 140 yards on the ground.

Quarterback Baker Mayfield, who returned from a thumb injury, did not complete any of his three pass attempts during the rainy matchup.
