- Chase Young’s strip sack touchdown: In one of the most notable plays of the season, Chase Young scored on a sack fumble where the ball never touched the ground. Initially it seemed unlikely he would generate pressure, but Young stayed alive as Cam Ward drifted back to avoid another defender, allowing Young to clear the play with the pocket. Not content with just the takedown, he ripped the ball loose and sprinted toward the end zone, earning a PFF grade of +2.5 on the play.
- Jason Marshall Jr.’s first career interception: As the ball left Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield’s hand, it appeared a touchdown was in the making. However, when the pass was compromised, Marshall was able to recover and make a play on the ball, aiming the ball high in front of the receiver for the interception and earning a PFF grade of +1.5.
