With back-to-back wins, the Buccaneers are back at .500 with a 6-6 record heading into Week 14. Tampa Bay was on the road in Week 13 to face Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers. It took a bit of luck and OT for the Bucs to escape with a narrow 26-23 win. This kept their playoff hopes for 2024 alive. 

Over the last month, Tampa Bay has shifted its identity as an offense. Baker Mayfield is known for his arm and play-making ability as a QB. However, the Bucs have become more run-heavy due to injuries on the team. No player on the roster has benefitted from that change more than rookie RB Bucky Irving. The 22-year-old needs 268 rushing yards in his final five games to finish with 1,000 rushing yards this season.
