Associated Press  

TAMPA, Fla. — Baker Mayfield wanted more yards on one of his several scrambles so he lowered his head, leaned his shoulder forward and rammed into two linebackers.

What’s working The run game had an outstanding turnaround, going from last in the league two straight years to fourth overall in yards this season. Rookie Bucky Irving averaged 5.4 yards per carry and became Tampa Bay’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Doug Martin in 2015.
