With their 31-17 home victory over the Panthers last Sunday, the Buccaneers evened their 2020 record at 1-1. Now, they hit the road again, this time heading west to take on the 0-2 Denver Broncos. This continues a short run of games for Tampa Bay that should be favorable, despite the fact that it has had struggles on the West Coast throughout its history. If the Bucs can come through with a victory, it will mark their third 2-1 start in the last four seasons.

While Bruce Arians’ team will look to continue eliminating its mistakes while continuing its winning ways on Sunday at Mile High, there are some individuals who can continue working their way toward franchise and league history. Let’s check in and see where things are heading into Week 3.

Career Solo Tackles*

David’s 738 career solo tackles rank him third in Bucs history and leave him 307 away from passing Ronde Barber (1,044) for second.

*Before 1994, solo tackles were unofficial and inconsistently recorded. Since then, they have been consistently recorded but are still unofficial.

*Sacks did not become an official stat until 1982.

Sacks Through 27 Games With Tampa Bay

Lee Roy Selmon and Simeon Rice both tallied 24 sacks in their first 27 games with the Bucs, tying them for the team record. Pierre-Paul’s 22 through 27 games rank him third. Barrett is currently fourth with 19.5, though he’s only played 18 games with the team. Five more in the next nine games would give him the record.

Most Consecutive Games With a Sack

Dating back to last season, Pierre-Paul has sacks in four consecutive games. The longest streak in franchise history is six games, which he did himself in 2018. Simeon Rice also did it in 2002.

*Passes defended did not become an official stat until 1999.

With 11 career interceptions, David is tied for 15th-most in team history. One more would tie him with Dwight Smith, Mark Robinson and Jeris White (12) for 12th.

Career Forced Fumbles

With a forced fumble last week, David upped his career total to 22. He needs three more to take the franchise record from Derrick Brooks (24).

Sunday will be David’s 124th career start, which will give him sole possession of eighth in team history.

Career Games Played

With his 124th career game played on Sunday, David will inch one game closer to tying Steve Wilson (125) for 13th-most in Bucs history.
