![]() He cut down on his fumbles a bit, though the missed time could be part of the reason for that. The fact that his touchdown total was near his career average even with the five missed games is significant, but so is the fact that his interception total came close to matching up. His completion percentage in 2018 was a career-best, ending up almost four full percentage points higher than his career average. Despite that, there’s still some notable improvements and trends here. ![]() Thoughts: Considering his career averages before 2018 were affected by the three games he missed in 2017 and his stats this year were impacted by the five games he missed, there’s some unevenness in comparisons. 49 rushes, 281 yards, 5.7 yards per carry, 1 touchdown 47 rushes, 171 yards, 3.6 yards per carry, 3 touchdownsĢ018 Stats: 244-for-378 (64.6 percent), 2,992 passing yards, 19 passing touchdowns, 14 interceptions, 7 fumbles (3 lost).

Head coach Dirk Koetter was fired after three seasons, giving way to a pretty quick coaching search that culminated with the hiring of two-time NFL Coach of the Year Bruce Arians. By the end of week 17, the Bucs were 5-11 and in possession of the No. The season started with back-to-back wins over the Saints and Eagles, but things quickly went downhill from there.
