The 3-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers will battle the 3-1 Seattle Seahawks in a battle of first-place teams on Sunday, October 5 at Lumen Field in Seattle. The Seahawks have won three straight after a Week One loss to San Francisco, while the Buccaneers suffered their first loss last Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Here are some additional numbers to know about the state of the Buccaneers and their fifth game of the 2025 campaign:

3.33

The average number of yards allowed per carry by Tampa Bay's defense, tied for the second-lowest mark in the NFL. The Buccaneers' opponent in Week Five, Seattle, ranks 28th in the NFL in yards per carry on offense, at 3.60.

12

The number of consecutive games that the Buccaneers' offense has produced 100-plus rushing yards, the longest active streak in the NFL. Seattle has held each of its last three opponents below 90 rushing yards and has the NFL's sixth-ranked rush defense overall.

15.9

Kameron Johnson's average number of yards per punt return through the first four weeks of the season. That is the highest average in the NFL among all players with at least 10 punt returns.

32

The number of tackles for loss that Buccaneer defenders have combined to produce through the first three weeks of the season, the most by any team in the NFL. Tampa Bay's defense produced 11 TFLs against Philadelphia in Week Four, the most by any team in a single game this season.

32.5

Vita Vea's career sack total after he recorded the fifth two-sack game of his career in Week Four against Philadelphia. With one more sack, Vea would move into the top 10 in Bucs history in that category, surpassing Brad Culpepper and Jason Pierre-Paul.

64.3

The percentage of Baker Mayfield's runs that have produced first downs, the highest rate of any NFL player in the NFL in 2025 with at least 10 carries through the first four weeks.

282

The number of receiving yards for Bucs wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, the most ever amassed by a rookie in his first four games in franchise history. Egbuka leads all NFL rookies in receiving yards.
