Buccaneers Win with Zero Passing Yards as Mayfield Only Hands Off

Buccaneers Win with Zero Passing Yards as Mayfield Only Hands Off
Other Sports · 02:51:23 - Thursday, 5 November 2026

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured a victory on Sunday despite recording zero passing yards, an unprecedented feat in NFL history. Quarterback Baker Mayfield spent the game exclusively handing the ball off to running backs, as the team relied entirely on its ground attack to defeat their opponent.

The unusual offensive approach raised questions about whether the Buccaneers have reinvented football strategy in a questionable manner. Mayfield did not attempt a single pass, finishing with 0 passing yards while the team's rushing attack carried the workload.
