The Bucks bounced back in a big way in Week 6, coming back from a crushing overtime loss to the Falcons to defeat the Saints at the Superdome. Todd Bowles and his team trailed 27-24 at halftime of that game, but rallied in the second half to outscore the home team 27-0. Now, for the first time since Hurricane Milton affected the Tampa Bay area, the Bucs will return home in front of their fans. The fans will definitely create a noisy atmosphere. Big game in prime time.
Tampa Bay will be looking to do what only other NFC teams have been able to do during Lamar Jackson’s career as the Ravens’ starting quarterback: win games with him. Jackson is 22-1 as a starter in NFC games and will look to lead Baltimore to a fifth straight win. The Bucks are looking for back-to-back wins for the first time since Weeks 1 and 2.
As always, there’s more to the story in this Week 7 contest, and that’s why we’re here now. As we do every week here at PewterReport.com, this week we take a look at what else is coming up during this week’s games. Of course, we’re talking about records and milestones that some Bucks are aiming for.
last week, Cade Otton became the 12th tight end in Buccaneer history to reach 1,000 receiving yards, and Mike Evans tied Tony Mayberry for the eighth most games played in team history.
Here’s how things stand heading into Week 7.

With one more touchdown, Evans would tie Hall of Famers Tim Brown and Steve Largent (100) for ninth place in NFL history. He also becomes the 11th player in league history to reach 100 receiving touchdowns, and the fifth fastest to do so behind Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Marvin Harrison Sr.
Evans’ 100th receiving touchdown makes him the seventh player in history to score 100 touchdowns with one franchise.
If Evans scores any touchdowns Monday night, he will tie Steve Largent (101) for the 22nd-most total touchdowns in league history.
Finally, Evans is 10 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns away from becoming the 10th player in NFL history with over 12,000 receiving yards and 100 receiving touchdowns. What else? Tim Brown, Chris Carter, Larry Fitzgerald, Tony Gonzalez, Marvin Harrison Sr., Steve Largent, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Jerry Rice.

White is 56 yards away from passing Gary Anderson (1,021 yards) for eighth place among Bucs running backs in receiving yards, but needs 126 more to pass Doug Martin (1,091 yards) for seventh place.
