Bucky Irving Held to 60 Rushing Yards in Buccaneers' Loss

Bucky Irving was largely held in check by the Falcons' front seven, rushing 16 times for 60 yards and adding one catch for 11 yards on three targets in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss on Thursday night. This marked his third consecutive game averaging under 4.0 yards per carry. Despite the low production, Irving was the unquestioned lead back, outpacing Rachaad White by 15 carries. His reception total was also his lowest of the season. He aims to atone against the Panthers on the road in a key Week 16 matchup on Dec. 21.
