The Buccaneers will wrap up their 2020 regular season schedule on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium, hosting the Atlanta Falcons in one final tuneup before the franchise’s first playoff game since 2007.

When Tampa Bay takes the field on Sunday, there will be plenty on team’s collective mind. A win would mean locking up the NFC’s No. 5 seed, although a Rams loss to the Cardinals would work as well. There’s no doubt that Bruce Arians and his team will want to take care of their own business so that they don’t have to rely on Arizona, but the No. 1 priority on Sunday has to be health.

The Bucs are banged-up injury-wise, plus they have been hit by COVID-19 issues this week. Carlton Davis is doubtful for Week 17 with a groin injury, while Ronald Jones II sounds good to go but will be looking to get through the game intact as he plays through a fractured finger. COVID-wise, news broke Friday that Shaquil Barrett, Devin White and Steve McLendon have all landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. They’ll all be out for the contest against Atlanta. So, health and safety are the keys on Sunday and all throughout next week for the Bucs as they prepare for the NFC Wild Card Round.

Playoffs and health aside, there is also history at stake for plenty of Buccaneers. With that in mind, let’s see where things stand heading into the regular season finale.

Chris Godwin’s 239 career catches have him tied with Gerald Carter for 12th-most in Bucs history. He obviously needs one more to take sole possession of 12th, and he is just 10 away from pasing Joey Galloway (248) for 11th.

Single-Season Points (Team)

The Buccaneers have scored 448 points this season, which is their second-highest total in a single season. They can set a new team record with just 11 points against the Falcons, as that would move them ahead of the 2019 team (458). (Bucs Communications)

Tom Brady has thrown for two-plus touchdowns in six consecutive games, tying a franchise record. He can set a new record with a seventh straight on Sunday. (Bucs Communications)

Consecutive Games With Two Passing Touchdowns and Zero Interceptions

Team Sacks

As a team, the Bucs have 47 sacks this season. That ties them with the 2019 team for second-most in a single-season in team history, so one more would give this year’s group sole possession of second. With eight more sacks, the 2020 defense would tie the 2000 defense (55 sacks) for the record. (Bucs Communications)

Career Passes Defended*

Lavonte David has 51 passes defended in his career, leaving him three away from tying Aqib Talib (54) for fifth-most in team history.

Quarterbacks With Multiple 40-Touchdown Seasons

With four passing scores against the Falcons on Sunday, Tom Brady would hit 40 touchdown passes in a season for the second time in his career. He would join Aaron Rodgers (three), Drew Brees (two), Peyton Manning (two) and Dan Marino (two) as the only quarterbacks with multiple such seasons.

Career Receiving Touchdowns (Regular Season)

With two touchdown receptions last week, Rob Gronkowski took his regular season career total to 86, which is good enough for 15th on the NFL’s all-time leaderboard. With one more, Gronkowski ties Andre Reed (87) for 14th, while two more would tie him with Don Maynard (88) for 13th.

Career Receiving Touchdowns (Including Postseason)

Including the playoffs, Rob Gronkowski has 98 career receiving touchdowns. That puts him in sole possession of 12th on the league’s all-time leaderboard, and two more would tie him with Don Hutson (100) for 11th.

Consecutive 1,000-Yard Receiving Seasons to Begin a Career

After a monster 181-yard performance against the Lions last week, Mike Evans is well within range of making serious NFL history on Sunday against the Falcons. He needs just 40 more receiving yards to reach 1,000, and doing so would make him the first player in league history to record seven consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons to start his career.
