Bucs lead the NFL in average starting field position the last 3 weeks.

Not surprising given the surge of turnovers forced, but their average drive over the last 3 games has started at their OWN 38.5 YARD LINE.

11 drives started in opponent territory. 4 in the red zone.

Following Jacob Parrish's run of PDs...

In the last 8 yrs, there've been 5 NFL players to have 13 PDs in a 6-game span.

3 were coached by Todd Bowles.

Jacob Parrish, TB ('26)
Charvarius Ward, SF ('23)
Benjamin St-Juste, WAS ('23)
Carlton Davis, TB ('19)
Jamel Dean, TB ('19)

[Tony Castricone @Castricone]

The @Buccaneers defense has forced 1⃣7⃣ turnovers in the last 5 games.

They're the first NFL team to force that many turnovers in a five-week span since 2019.

They're just the third team to pull off a span like that since 2012.

We’ve been talking about remaining schedule for a few weeks. Here’s a visual.

So the Rams future schedule... is... sheesh

Great time for a bye week for Bucky Irving.
Dude has carried a LOAD since the start of Week 5.
Most rushes in the NFL since the start of Week 5:

[Tony Castricone @Castricone]

Zyon McCollum is the first @Buccaneers defender this century to pick off 4 passes in a 3 game span.

The last to do it was...

Donnie Abraham
1999 (Weeks 11-13)
5 INTs in 3 games
2 returned for TDs

Thankful that HOF’r Jack Ham is stable and prayers up that he’s on the road to recovery. Meeting him a few years back, he was super humble and down to earth. Spent lots of time with us and left an impression. Many blessings for him and the Penn State radio crew 🙏

Nothing but facts from @stephenasmith 😤

[Greg Auman @gregauman]

Great find here. If you do yards from scrimmage, Bucky Irving has more himself (3,185) than the five backs drafted ahead of him in 2024 do combined (3,103). More total touchdowns (18-16) as well.

[Tony Castricone @Castricone]

Only 9 players in the NFL this CENTURY have had a streak of 5 straight games with 2+ PDs. They are:

Jacob Parrish, TB, 2026
Brian Branch, DET, 2024
Brandon Browner, SEA, 2011
Tramon Williams, GB, 2011
Darrelle Revis, NYJ, 2009
Carlos Rogers, WAS, 2008
Al Harris, GB, 2004
Troy Vincent, PHI, 2002 & 2000
Doug Evans, CAR, 2001

[Tony Castricone @Castricone]

Bucs cornerback Jacob Parrish has defended at least two passes in each of the last FIVE games.

If he does it again this weekend at Chicago, he'll join Green Bay's Tramon Williams (2011) as the only other player to string together six games with at least 2 PDs this CENTURY.

This defense has been DOMINANT 😤

[PewterReport 🏴‍☠️ @PewterReport]

Outstanding info, @Castricone.

Bucs RB Bucky Irving was an absolute steal in the 4th round and one of Jason Licht's best draft picks.

[Tony Castricone @Castricone]

The five guys taken ahead of Bucky Irving have combined for:

611 rushes
2,587 rushing yards
4.23 yards per carry
14 rushing TDs

Incredible work by Bucky, incredible pick by GM Jason Licht and incredible development by the coaches.

[Tony Castricone @Castricone]

So proud of Bucky and all he's overcome to quickly become a legit star in this league and a crucial piece of the Bucs offense as he gets ready to make an emotional return to his hometown of Chicago for Sunday Night Football this weekend. #TBvsCHI #WeAreTheKrewe
