The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took over first place in the NFC South with a 28-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Tampa Bay’s run game excelled as usual, averaging 5.8 net yards per rush with an average of 4.0 yards after contact. The Buccaneers racked up 152 net rushing yards and five explosive runs.
On the other hand, offense remained hard to find for Las Vegas. A serious knee injury for Aidan O’Connell didn’t help a unit that averaged just 4.5 yards per play and scored only one red-zone touchdown on four trips.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Although the Raiders came up short yet again, Moehrig flourished. The Raiders safety permitted only two catches on six yards, forcing two incompletions in the process. He also added a stop in the run game.
