In Tampa Bay’s first five games of 2024, running back Sean Tucker had taken just two carries and caught one pass.
That changed in a major way in Week 6, and now Tucker has been named NFC offensive player of the week.
Tucker finished the Buccaneers 51-27 victory over the Saints with 192 yards from scrimmage — 136 rushing along with three catches for 56 yards — with two total touchdowns.
Having joined the Bucs as an undrafted rookie out of Syracuse last year, Tucker is the first Tampa Bay player to earn a player of the week award since 2021.
The Buccaneers will be back at home to play the Ravens on Monday night in Week 7.
