But this week, they face a Miami team that gives up practically seven yards per play through the air. Look for Baker Mayfield to redeem himself as the Bucs passing game gets back on track as he will average nearly the same per pass play, and total 300 yards through the air.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Miami is averaging nearly five yards a carry, and we all remember what happened when the Bucs faced a team with a running game that averaged five yards a carry. This week will be different, as the Buccaneers will hold the Miami run game to an average of three yards per carry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Gil Arcia (12-3): Bucs 26, Dolphins 23<br \/>Mike Kiwak (10-5): Bucs 23, Dolphins 17<br \/>Evan Wanish (11-4): Bucs 20, Dolphins 16<br \/>Will Walsh (8-7): Bucs 26, Dolphins 12<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the Buccaneers get set to take on the Dolphins down in Miami following their disappointing Week 16&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":635164,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2049],"tags":[217,7,216,251,2087,6,64674],"class_list":{"0":"post-635163","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami-dolphins","8":"tag-dolphins","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-miami","11":"tag-miami-dolphins","12":"tag-miamidolphins","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers-game-information"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115797366620846250","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
