Bucs Record Watch 2022: Week 10 vs. Seahawks

The Bucs finally stopped their losing streak last Sunday, beating the Rams 16-13 on a late touchdown pass from Tom Brady to rookie tight end Cade Otton. The win broke a three-game losing streak and got Tampa Bay back to the top of the NFC South, even with a 4-5 record.

Now, the Bucs make the long trek over to Munich, Germany, for an international game against the 6-3 Seahawks. Seattle has been one of the surprise teams of the season so far, with Geno Smith leading the team to the top of the NFC West at the midway point of the year. Tampa Bay has by no means gotten out of its funk, of course, as the offense continued to sputter even in a win over the disappointing Rams. So, this matchup ahead of the bye week is a big one for Todd Bowles’ team.

If the Bucs can manage a second straight win — and their first ever win outside of the U.S. — they’ll hit the week off at 5-5. It will set them up for a strong final stretch of the season, which includes just two games against teams that are at or above .500. A loss, however, will send Tampa Bay back down to two games under .500 and jeopardize its division lead.

Simply put, Sunday morning’s game in Germany is a big one for the Bucs. But of course, as there always is, there’s some history to be made by some on Tampa Bay’s roster. Last week, Tom Brady reached a few milestones. He became the first player in NFL history to reach 7,500 career completions, plus he became the first to surpass 100,000 career passing yards between the regular season and postseason combined. He also engineered his 55th career game-winning drive and tied Peyton Manning (43) for the most fourth-quarter comebacks in NFL history. Chris Godwin passed Mark Carrier for the second-most receiving yards in franchise history, too.

So, what’s on the line when the Bucs take on the Seahawks on Sunday? Let’s get into it.

Tom Brady

Brady needs 153 passing yards to move ahead of Doug Williams (12,648) for fifth-most in franchise history. He also needs just one more win to pass Jameis Winston (28) for third-most by a quarterback in Bucs history.

Brady tied Peyton Manning (43) for the most fourth-quarter comebacks in NFL history last week. With another against Seattle, he’ll own the record for himself.

Leonard Fournette

Fournette’s lack of production over the last few weeks still has him chasing some milestones. With one rushing touchdown against the Seahawks, he’ll officially move ahead of Ricky Bell (16) for ninth-most in team history. Two rushing scores will tie him with Ronald Jones II (18) for eighth-most.

Meanwhile on the receiving side of things, Fournette is one receiving touchdown away from tying Adger Armstrong, Michael Pittman and Charles Sims (six) for the fourth-most by a running back in franchise history. That next receiving score will also tie him with Sims (four in 2015) for the most by a running back in a single season in team history. And finally, Fournette remains 21 receiving yards away from passing Gary Anderson (1,021) for seventh-most by a Bucs running back all-time.

Evans needs 35 receiving yards to pass Chad Johnson (9,952) for 10th-most by a player through nine seasons of a career. He is also 82 away from becoming the first player in franchise history to record 10,000 receiving yards with the team. The final yardage mark to pay attention to is 47.9, which is what he needs to average over the final eight games to break 1,000 yards for the ninth straight season.

Evans is still 21 points away from passing Michael Husted (502) for second-most in team history.

The veteran receiver will make his 130th career start on Sunday, tying him with Pro Football Hall of Famer and Bucs Ring of Honor inductee Warren Sapp (130) for eighth-most in franchise history.

Chris Godwin

Godwin has yet to find the end zone this season. One more touchdown of any kind will tie him with Kevin House (31) for sixth-most total touchdowns in team history, while two more receiving scores will tie him with House (31) for fourth-most all-time.

Cameron Brate

If Brate can suit up against the Seahawks on Sunday, he’ll have a chance to finally tie Jimmie Giles on two fronts. If he scores a touchdown of any kind, he’ll tie Giles (34) for fourth-most total touchdowns in team history. His next receiving score will also help him match Giles (34) for second-most all-time.

Lavonte David

With his 159th career game on Sunday, David will pass Mike Alstott (158) for seventh-most in Bucs history. He’ll also be just one away from tying Tony Mayberry (160) for sixth-most.

Sunday will also mark the veteran linebacker’s 159th career start, leaving him 24 behind Paul Gruber (183) for third-most in team history.

David is one defensive touchdown away from tying David Logan and Mike Washington (four) for third-most in franchise history. He also needs just 1.5 sacks to tie Logan (28.5) for 10th-most in team history.

David’s 58 career passes defended have him fifth in Bucs history, and he needs just six more to tie Donnie Abraham (64) for fourth.

Will Gholston

Sunday’s game against Seattle will be Gholston’s 146th with the Bucs, which means he is just two away from tying Shelton Quarles (148) for ninth-most in franchise history.

Carlton Davis

Davis is two passes defended away from tying Lavonte David (58) for fifth-most in team history.

Jamel Dean

Dean’s 38 passes defended have him in the top 10 in franchise history, and he needs just three more to tie Brent Grimes (41) for ninth-most of any Buc ever.
