Combine the information about Tampa Bay's takeaway prowess and run-game domination over the last five weeks and an extremely flattering comparison emerges. The Buccaneers have compiled 1,051 rushing yards and forced 17 turnovers in their last five outings, dating back to a Week Five win in Dallas. **The last team with at least 17 takeaways and 1,000 rushing yards in a five-game span was the legendary 1985 Chicago Bears**, who eventually shuffled their way to victory in Super Bowl XX.
Mayfield's 243 passing yards included a 58-yard strike to wide receiver **Tez Johnson** that took the ball down to the two and set up the first of Irving's two touchdowns. Johnson now has the Buccaneers' two longest receptions of the season, including his 64-yarder at Dallas in Week Five. **Johnson is averaging 23.1 yards per catch, the highest mark among all NFL players with at least 10 receptions this season**.
Mayfield's yardage total moved him up a spot on the Buccaneers' all-time list, surpassing Trent Dilfer to take over fifth place.

Anzalone's interception came courtesy of a deflected pass by cornerback **Jacob Parrish**. That was the 14th pass defensed by Parrish this season, which continues to lead the lead, and McCollum is not far behind.

Parrish has notched at least one pass defensed in six straight games, the longest such streak by a Buccaneer defender since Carlton Davis did it in 2019.
Kicker **Chase McLaughlin** provided 10 of the Buccaneers' 24 points by making all three of his field goal attempts and his only extra-point try. He continues to lead the NFL in scoring with 84 points and he has now made 22 consecutive field goal attempts. He has the most successful field goals this season among all kickers without a miss. McLaughlin's streak of 22 made field goals in a row (his final attempt of the 2025 season was blocked) is now just three shy of Connor Barth (25 in a row across the 2011-12 seasons) for the second-longest streak in Bucs history. McLaughlin already owns the longest streak with 30 in a row across the 2023-24 seasons.
