BUH!-key! BUH!-key! BUH!-key!
What a special night for Bucky Irving. He even got a red zone carry within the 5 yard line for the first time since 2024.
Irving was electric with 21 carries for 165 yards and a touchdown, plus two catches for 10 yards and a TD.
The Bucs’ bellcow back ripped off a 72-yard run with multiple cutbakcs to spark the Bucs in the third quarter. It was the turning point of tonight’s win. The play seemed to energize the entire roster for the next 20 minutes of football.
Playmaker!
It also was obvious that Irving fed off that run. He played a with a fire Joe hasn’t seen since 2024, when Irving captivated the NFL as a rookie running back.
On Sunday, the Bucs threw only twice to running backs and not once to Irving. Huh? Tonight, order was restored to the offense in various ways.
