The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made history last Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. They won 16-0 despite not recording a single completion, leaving fans and players around the league buzzing about it. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was left in disbelief, and he shared his thoughts about the bizarre NFL development,
Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield went 0-of-3 and was sacked once. He made up for it with utilizing his running backs as the field at Raymond James Stadium was completely soaked. The rain was relentless, and Mayfield knew that the best way to go was through the ground rather than the air.
Bucky Irving finished with 27 rushing attempts for 170 yards and one touchdown. Kenny Gainwell backed him with 25 rushes for 140 yards, while Chase McLaughlin kicked three field goals to improve to 19-of-19 this season. Tampa Bay won its third game against five losses, trailing the 3-4 Carolina Panthers for first place in the NFC South.

Travis Kelce Shares Thoughts on Buccaneers’ Bizarre Win
Travis Kelce expressed disbelief when he and his brother, Jason, talked about the Bucs’ win. The Chiefs star also discussed how Mayfield did a good job of leading his team to victory.
“Tampa Bay also became the first NFL team since 1974 to win a game without completing a pass,” Kelce said. “Are you f****** serious? Didn’t even attempt a pass in the final 28 minutes. How fun was this game to watch… Let’s go. Way to get dirty, 6 (Mayfield). He’s like, ‘Listen, if we’re not passing the ball, I’m getting dirty. I don’ give a f***.”
Meanwhile, Kelce and the Chiefs are on a two-game skid after losing 28-24 to the Denver Broncos. They are aiming to bounce back strong in Week 9 in their home matchup versus the New York Jets.
