Bucky Irving, RB (TB)

Eclipses 70-yard mark in loss

Irving rushed 19 times for 71 yards and wasn't targeted in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Irving easily led the Buccaneers' ground attack in rush attempts and rushing yardage, but he had a long run of just 12 yards and didn't draw a single target for the first time all season. While Irving's rushing yardage tally did match his season high, he also saw Sean Tucker vulture another goal-line opportunity that the latter successfully converted into a touchdown. Irving will aim to exploit a vulnerable Dolphins run defense in a Week 17 road matchup next Sunday.
