- Top Play Breakdown: Alex Anzalone's Two-Interception Outing
- Bucs defense pitched a shutout, but odd quirk -- with Penix getting rid of the ball quickly, Bucs OLBs had almost no stats beyond pressures. Nelson had two tackles (one on fourth-and-1 stop), Bain, Walker, Muhammad, Diaby none. · Quoting Bob: @gregauman I was looking at a web sits that shows the players tackles, sacks and interceptions. I didn’t see Bains name at all and I know he was playing.
- With Michael Penix's game Sunday, Bucs are now 20-1 all-time when the opposing QB throws 4+ interceptions. The lone loss? 1983 against the Saints, when Ken Stabler threw four but still won, as the Bucs' Jack Thompson threw three, including a go-ahead pick-six.
- Another missed field goal by Harrison Butker. This one in the fourth quarter, up only three points on Broncos. It's from 54, so hardly a lock, but he's 2-for-7 on kicks 50 and longer this season and has given the Broncos a chance on a short field ...

They've had two backs go over 100 rushing yards in the same game once -- Mike Alstott and Warrick Dunn did vs. Vikings in Nov. 1998.
- Only two conversions were Penix 2-yard keepers on fourth-and-1. Bijan Robinson -- leading NFL in yards from scrimmage -- had three carries for minus-1 yard, and Penix went 1-for-4 passing for 1 yard.
- Falcons had a 76-yard pass play and still were shut out. It's the longest play by a team on the losing end of a shutout since 2017, when the Broncos had an 81-yard pass from Trevor Siemien to Demaryius Thomas in a 21-0 loss to Chargers -- turned it over on downs.

- Some perspective on the Bucs' recent success running the ball: From mid-2016 until early this season, they rushed for 240+ yards once in a span of 173 games. They've rushed for 240+ 3 times in the last 4 games.
- Titans scored 36 points today, totaled 440 yards and won the turnover margin at plus-2 ... and lost to the Bengals in overtime. Teams doing those three things had won 45 games in a row, going back to a 2012 Jaguars overtime loss to the Texans.
- Bucs defense held the Falcons to eight total first downs today -- that's one off the NFL league-wide low entering today's games. Jets had seven in a loss to the Bears.
