Former Oregon standout Bucky Irving scores his first NFL touchdown as Tampa Bay takes a 30-16 lead over Philadelphia, leading the Bucs’ rushing attack with 46 yards.
BollywoodFever: As the third quarter ended, Tampa Bay led Philadelphia 30-16, but the highlight for Oregon fans was Pro Duck Bucky Irving scoring his first NFL touchdown. Irving powered through the Eagles’ defense for a one-yard touchdown in the third quarter, marking a significant milestone in his young career.
Heading into the final period, Irving leads his 2-1 Buccaneers in rushing with 9 carries for 46 yards, including an impressive 15-yard run. The 5-foot-10, 195-pound speedster also added a six-yard reception, making this his most productive game as a pro so far.
Irving’s strong start in the NFL isn’t surprising considering his performance at Oregon, where he rushed for 2,238 yards and 16 touchdowns over two seasons. Drafted by the Bucs in the 4th round this spring, Irving signed a four-year, $4.75 million contract in May, and he’s already proving to be a valuable asset to Tampa Bay’s offense.
