• Chase Young’s strip-sack-touchdown: One of the most remarkable plays of the season saw Chase Young score on a sack-fumble return in which the ball never touched the ground. Initially appearing unlikely to generate pressure, Young stayed alive on the rush as Cam Ward drifted backward to evade another defender, allowing Young to clean up the play with the sack. Not satisfied with just the takedown, he ripped the ball free and sprinted into the end zone, earning a +2.5 PFF grade on the play.

• Jason Marshall Jr.’s first career interception: When the ball left Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield’s hand, it appeared to be a touchdown in the making. However, with the pass underthrown, Marshall was able to recover and make a play on the ball, high-pointing it in front of the receiver for the interception and earning a +1.5 PFF grade.
