- Catanzaro added a 44-yard field goal in the second quarter, finishing off a six-play, 50-yard drive lasting 4:21.

- Tampa Bay’s first touchdown of the game came on an eight-yard pass from QB Jameis Winston to WR Chris Godwin, which ended a seven-play, 91-yard drive that lasted 3:37. The drive was highlighted by a 54-yard reception from WR DeSean Jackson.

- In the second quarter, CB M.J. Stewart forced a fumble from Titans WR Devin Ross that was recovered by LB Lavonte David. Stewart also forced a fumble from Titans RB Dion Lewis in the first quarter that went out of bounds.

- The fumble recovery was David’s first in the preseason, however, since entering the NFL in 2012, David is tied for the league lead in fumble recoveries, with 11.
