One week after getting embarra sed by the on national television, and the responded by taking out all of their frustrations on the in a 46-23 blowout win. The Buccaneers made a lot of changes after their 38-3 lo s to New Orleans and they all seemed to pay off. One of the most notable changes this week came on the offensive line, with being moved from center to guard. With Jensen no longer snapping the ball to Brady, the job was given to A.Q. Shipley. The decision to make the switch paid off dividends as Brady rarely faced pre sure in the win. The 43-year-old quarterback had plenty of time to Armani Watts Jersey throw almost every time he dropped back, and Brady definitely took advantage of that as he ended up completing 28 of 39 pa ses for 341 yards and three touchdowns. One of Brady's most impre sive pa ses came on a 44-yard strike to that the Buccaneers desperately needed. At the time of the pa s, the Buccaneers were facing a second-and-13 with just under two minutes to play in the first half while trailing 17-10. "He's still a very large human being." : on FOX Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@Buccaneers) Gronk's catch took the Buccaneers from Carolina's 48-yard line all the way down to the 4. Three plays later, Brady would hit for a three-yard score that seemed to give Tampa Bay all the momentum. Including that touchdown, the Buccaneers would outscore the Panthers 36-6 from that point on. Speaking of Evans, he was a hot topic in Tampa this week and that's because Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians was clearly frustrated that Brady didn't look to Evans more during Tampa Bay's 38-3 lo s to New Orleans. "Mike was open a ," Arians said after the Week 9 lo s. "He didn't get targeted, that was all. Mike was open." Brady clearly took the criticism to heart, because he looked to Evans early and often against the Panthers. Of the 39 pa ses Brady threw in the game, 11 of them went to Evans, who caught six pa ses for 77 yards and a three-yard touchdown that you can see below. . + = 6: on FOX Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@Buccaneers) The scary thing about the Buccaneers offense is that it's still a work in progre s. Changes on the offensive line after Week 9? Not enough targets for Evans? Those are two of the i sues that got fixed this week, and unfortunately for the Panthers, they were the team that just happened to be on the field on the day where the Buccaneers offense seemed to figure everything out. Even got in on the action, catching seven pa ses for 69 yards. Although the Buccaneers were impre sive through the air, the play of the game for Tampa Bay came on the ground in the third quarter when recorded the third-longest touchdown run in NFL history. Jonathan Taylor Jersey There have been two touchdown runs of exactly 98 yards in NFL history. This is one of them John Breech (@johnbreech) That touchdown seemed to deflate the Panthers defense, who just couldn't do anything to stop the Buccaneers in the second half. Jones' 98-yard run tied Ahman Green for the third-longest in NFL history, trailing only Tony Dorsett and , who both scored on a 99-yard run. The win over the Panthers puts the Buccaneers one step closer to a playoff berth, and although they might not win the division, they should have their sights set on the fifth seed in the NFC because that would allow them to play the NFC East winner in the wild-card round. That's the draw that every NFC team is going to want. Alright, let's get to the grades for every game from Week 10. If you're looking for a deeper dive on the Colts-Titans game that was played Thursday, . C Indianapolis Colts Jackets The Panthers kept it tight in the first half and the offense was clicking. The foundation began to crumble in the second half, however, when the Carolina offense tallied just 20 total yards of offense. Relative to expectations, Carolina continues to impre s but today made it clear that there is a long way to go before Matt Rhule's young team can compete within the NFC South. A- The Buccaneers defense finally arrived in the second half and held Carolina to six points. Meanwhile, the offense continued to cruise. Tom Brady and Co. ama sed over 500 total yards after being stifled by the rival Saints last weekend. Most of that yardage came from Brady (341) and Ronald Jones (192). Indianapolis Colts Hats Tampa Bay was all smiles after regulation came to a close, as they will not lose any ground within the division this weekend. B- This game basically came down to bad fourth-and-2 calls for the . The first one came from the ' 2-yard line in the first quarter. With horrible weather in Cleveland and points at a premium, the Texans could have kicked a field goal, but instead ended up calling a draw that lost two yards. The ugly part of the play-call is that it was a run all the way, when a play with a run-pa s option would have made way more sense when you have a QB like . In the third quarter, the Texans faced another fourth-and-2, but instead of going for it, coach Romeo Crennel decided to attempt a 46-yard field goal, a kick that had no chance on a day where the wind gusts reached 50 mph. In bad weather where both teams struggled on offense, coaching proved to be the difference in this one.B There are ugly wins in the NFL, and a level below that, you have what the Browns did on Sunday. With heavy rains and high wind in Cleveland, this wasn't a game where either team could really throw the ball, which ended up working out perfectly for the Browns, who finally had back on the field. Despite mi sing four weeks due to injury, the Browns had no problem making Chubb their workhorse, and the plan worked to perfection Alexander Myres Jersey as he carried the ball 19 times for 126 yards. also had his fair share of carries with 19 rushed for 104 yards as the Browns ground game dominated the Texans defense. B Although there's no such thing as a moral victory in the NFL, we should go ahead and make an exception in this game because of , who was starting for the first time since a November 2018 injury that almost ended his career. Despite a 728-day layoff between starts, Smith didn't show any rust as he threw for a career-high 390 yards and three touchdowns while leading Washington back from a 24-3 deficit over the final quarter and a half of play. Washington made multiple mistakes on Sunday that will likely come back and haunt them, including a mi sed 43-yard field goal, a lost fumble that led to a field goal just before halftime and an opening drive where they moved the ball down to Detroit's 14-yard line but failed to come away with any points. B After watching a 24-3 lead melt away in the second half, this game seemed like it was going to be another disastrous lo s for the Lions, but then the two Matts saved the day. With 16 seconds left to play and the game tied at 27, drove the Lions 34 yards to set up game-winning field goal from 59 yards out. The final drive put an exclamation point on what was a fantastic game for Stafford, who threw for 276 yards and three touchdowns,
