\t\t\tA Historic Day For Tampa Bay
\nNovember 1st, 2026 <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

Run Bucky, run!<\/p>\n

Joe still cannot believe what Joe witnessed today on the rain-soaked turf of The Licht House.<\/p>\n

The Bucs won a game without completing a pass. And no, the players were not wearing leather helmets and the football wasn\u2019t the size of a basketballm and the zebras didn\u2019t use pistols to signal the end of the game.<\/p>\n

The game for the Bucs was historic.<\/p>\n

The last time a team won without completing one pass<\/a> was over 50 years ago, noted Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

In September 1974, Buffalo, behind the running of O.J. Simpson, beat the New York Jets 16-12. It is just the sixth time since 1940 a team won without completing a pass.<\/p>\n

The losing quarterback, Joe Namath, only completed two passes.<\/p>\n

Other notable feats from today\u2019s game:<\/p>\n

* The Bucs set a franchise record for rushing yards in a game with 301 yards rushing.<\/p>\n

* The Bucs are the first team this season to have four picks. Joe thought they could have had six.<\/p>\n

* Bucky Irving (170) and Kenny Gainwell (116) each had career-high rushing games as the Bucs totaled 324. It was the first time a pair of Bucs running backs each had at least 100 yards rushing since Nov. 1, 1998, in a home win against Minnesota. Maybe the Bucs should play every Nov. 1?.<\/p>\n

* Per Jeff Darlington of ESPN, the Bucs became the second team<\/a> this century to lead at halftime in a game in which didn\u2019t complete a pass. The other team was the Tim Tebow-led Broncos in 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Historic Day For Tampa Bay November 1st, 2026 Run Bucky, run!
