Six Numbers To Consider

10

Mike Evans’ rank among receivers in receiving yards in their first four seasons since the merger. He passed Julio Jones with his first reception Sunday.

28

Touchdowns from scrimmage by Doug Martin in his career, good for fifth most in franchise history. He’s now tied with Warrick Dunn and Joey Galloway.

5 (x2)

Lavonte David now has five forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries on the season. He’ll be overlooked for the Pro Bowl (again) and wrongly snubbed for first team All-Pro thanks in large part to the Bucs’ abysmal record.

4

O.J. Howard’s rank in franchise history for touchdown receptions by a rookie. He caught his fifth touchdown of the season against the Lions.

64

Touchdown passes by Jameis Winston through his career, tying him with Cam Newton for the ninth most through a quarterback’s first three seasons. There are three games left and Winston missed three full games and two partial games.

20

Interceptions by Brent Grimes since 2013 – tied for the most by any player since that time.
