- Atlanta threw four interceptions in the rain.

## Summary

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Atlanta Falcons 16-0 in heavy rain without completing a pass, a rare result in the Super Bowl era. Their victory also set a club record for rushing yards and improved their position in the NFC South.

Baker Mayfield attempted three passes, completing none, as the weather and wind made throwing difficult. Bucky Irving ran for 170 yards and Kenneth Gainwell for 140, helping Tampa Bay reach 324 rushing yards; Atlanta quarterback Michael Penix Jr completed eight of 24 passes and threw four interceptions. The only other NFL team reported to have won a game without a completion since the Super Bowl era began was the Buffalo Bills in 1974.
