Rams at Buccaneers

Franchise Hub Beat · 6d ago

In a dominant display, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers topped the Los Angeles Rams 37-0 in Week 17 of the 2026 season, securing a crucial win as they head into the playoffs. With their offense firing on all cylinders, the Buccaneers showcased their superiority, leaving the Rams with a disappointing end to the regular season.

Baker Mayfield led the charge for Tampa Bay, throwing for 278 yards and two touchdowns, establishing himself as the offensive standout of the game. He found a reliable target in Ted Hurst III, who racked up 81 receiving yards, while Bucky Irving contributed on the ground with 49 rushing yards. This offensive performance not only highlighted Mayfield’s prowess but also the balanced attack of the Buccaneers.

Defensively, Tampa Bay was relentless, with Yaya Diaby recording 1.5 sacks and Benjamin Morrison grabbing an interception to stifle any potential Rams scoring drives. The turning point came early in the second quarter when a critical interception set up Tampa Bay for a touchdown, widening the gap and putting the game firmly in their control. The Rams struggled to respond, unable to find any rhythm against a formidable Buccaneers defense that consistently pressured their offense.
