1. Yaya Diaby recorded his team-leading fourth sack of the 2025 campaign, while stripping the ball from Jared Goff to record his first forced fumble of the season and third of his NFL tenure. Collectively, the Bucs are tied for second in the NFL with three strip sacks.

2. SirVocea Dennis dropped Goff for a 12-yard loss on third down, recording his second career sack in Week Seven.

3. Jamel Dean recorded his third interception of the previous four games. His three interceptions in 2025 have established a new single-season career high for Dean.

4. Baker Mayfield found Tez Johnson for a touchdown on a 22-yard screen. The seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft now has touchdown receptions in consecutive games for Tampa Bay.

5. Tykee Smith led the Bucs in tackles with eight and notched a sack on Goff off a safety blitz for a loss of nine just before Dean's interception play to shift the momentum.
