Bright Spots For Buccaneers In 2009

Posted Jan 6, 2010 by Anwar S. Richardson

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have finished 3-13, but here are some highlight provided to me from the NFL:

QB Josh Freeman set a franchise rookie record with 1,857 passing yards and 10 touchdown passes.

TE Kellen Winslow had 884 yards receiving, breaking the single-season franchise record for tight ends that had been held by Jimmie Giles, who had 786 yards in 1981.  His 77 receptions also set a team tight end record.

Tampa Bay became first team in NFL history to have three different return specialists win NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors (SAMMIE STROUGHTER, CLIFTON SMITH and MICHEAL SPURLOCK).

CB Aqib Talib tied a franchise record with three interceptions in one game.

K Connor Barth an NFL record with three field goals of 50+ yards in one game.

Ronde Barber is tied for the third-most return touchdowns all-time with 13. He trails only DEION SANDERS (19) and Pro Football Hall of Famer Rod Woodson (17) for the most return touchdowns in NFL history.
