The Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs have been very productive this year. In the cases of Sean Tucker and Bucky Irving, they both now share a common award from the 2024 NFL season.
On Wednesday, the NFL awarded Bucs running back Bucky Irving the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Irving’s performance against the Carolina Panthers is what earned him the nod.
Irving ran for 152 yards on the ground and earned a total of 185 yards from scrimmage.
Before Irving won this honor, Sean Tucker was honored as Offensive Player of the Week for his Week 6 performance against the New Orleans Saints. Tucker racked up 192 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in that matchup.
This is the first time the Buccaneers have ever had two different running backs win a Player of the Week award in the same season.
Irving will have a chance to earn that award again starting in Week 14 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
