In Williams’ most inefficient game thus far, he handled 24 rush attempts for 56 yards while adding just one receiving yard on a reception and 2 targets.

Robinson ran 19 times for 76 yards and didn’t catch his only target, finishing as the RB27. He averaged 4.0 yards per carry with a long of 26. With Penix struggling to complete passes in the weather, Robinson’s receiving role disappeared. Khalil Herbert added 4 carries for 12 yards.

Penix completed just 8 of 24 passes for 125 yards, no TDs and 4 INTs in a 16-0 loss, finishing as the QB23. He added 5 carries for 11 yards. The weather made throwing nearly impossible for both teams, but the interceptions were costly in a game Tampa Bay won without completing a pass. His passer rating was 12.0. It’s a game to mostly ignore going forward.

Gainwell ran 25 times for 140 yards, finishing as the RB14. He averaged 5.6 yards per carry with a long of 28, but he didn’t score and didn’t catch his only target. This was by far his biggest workload of the season. He got there despite a hip injury that kept him out of practice Wednesday before he was upgraded to full Friday.

Irving ran 27 times for 170 yards and a TD, finishing as the RB9. He averaged 6.3 yards per carry with a long of 46. He didn’t draw a target in a game where Tampa Bay barely threw, and he lost a fumble. Kenneth Gainwell added 25 carries for 140 yards.

Mayfield went 0 for 3 passing in Tampa Bay’s 16-0 win over Atlanta and finished as the QB25. He added 4 carries for 14 yards. The weather shut down both passing games, and the Bucs became the first team since the 1974 Bills to win without completing a pass. This should be thrown out when evaluating Mayfield going forward.
