It was a record-breaking day in Philadelphia as the Buccaneers set a franchise record for most points scored on the road and posted their second-highest offensive yardage total in their team history. Doug Martin had the second-most yards rushing in a game and Jameis Winston became only the third rookie in NFL history to throw five touchdown passes in a game. He also became only the fourth Buccaneer to achieve that feat after Steve DeBerg, Brad Johnson and Josh Freeman. The Bucs led 28- 14 at the half and then embarked on a near 10-minute drive to open the second half culminating in the fifth scoring pass that put an end to any hope of a Philadelphia revival.
