The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have become the first NFL team since 1974 to win a game without completing a single forward pass, according to a report by Dan Coombs for HITC published on November 1, 2026.
The historic achievement marks the first time in over five decades that an NFL franchise has secured a victory while failing to complete any passes. The previous instance occurred in 1974, though the source does not specify which team accomplished that feat or provide details about the Buccaneers' opponent, final score, or the specific circumstances of the game.
Further details regarding the date of the game, the opposing team, and the offensive strategy employed by Tampa Bay were not included in the available report.
