Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Coach: Raheem Morris
Key Stats
10 The 2010 Bucs became the first team since the 1970 merger to start 10 or more rookies and finish with a winning record.
13 Sunday's game is not a sellout, marking the 13th local TV blackout in the past 14 regular-season games at Raymond James Stadium.
30 Bucs' rank, out of 32 teams, in rushing defense. They allow 139.7 rushing yards a game.
36 Consecutive starts by Freeman, the third-longest current streak among Tampa Bay players and longest by a Bucs QB since Trent Dilfer started 70 in a row from 1995-99.
53 Team-leading tackles for Tampa Bay linebacker Mason Foster, second among rookies behind Denver linebacker Von Miller, who has 57 stops.
