An incredible run comes to an end: #Bucs senior offensive consultant Tom Moore is retiring at the age of 87 after 62 years in coaching, per @NFLSTROUD. A true legend.

Ira (@IKaufman76 ) spent most of halftime chatting with Luke Kuechly. Without provocation or prompting, Kuechly launched into a five-minute sermon about how Lavonte David is "criminally" underrated and is beyond worthy of a Hall of Fame induction when eligible.

[Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD]

Lavonte David tied Derrick Brooks for the most tackles in club history and sounded like this may be his last season.

[J.T. Olson @IcewaterOlson]

Today is probably Lavonte David's final game. For 14 years he has given us Hall of Fame level linebacker play. He's been the Bucs version of Brian Urlacher, he's been that good.

- Most forced fumbles by a LB
- 4th most TFL ever
- 4th most solo tackles
- 8th most combined tackles

[Tampa Bay Buccaneers @Buccaneers]

3⃣5⃣ CAREER TAKEAWAYS!

Lavonte David is in elite company, joining Hall of Famers Ray Lewis & Brian Urlacher as the only players since 1982 with 40+ sacks and 35+ takeaways 🤯

BREAKING: President Trump just announced he expects the income tax to be ABOLISHED soon.

This would be the single greatest economic move in American history. Imagine taking home 100% of your paycheck?

The economy would explode overnight. 🚀
