US EditionTristan Wirfs’ TD Catch and Late Defensive Stop Help Buccaneers Beat Cardinals 20-17
Tristan Wirfs caught his first NFL touchdown on a tackle-eligible trick play, helping Tampa Bay win 20-17 and snap a three-game losing streak, officials said.
- On Nov. 30, Tristan Wirfs caught his first NFL touchdown on a 2-yard pass from Baker Mayfield, helping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Arizona Cardinals 20-17.
- Facing penalties that negated two scores, Mayfield faked a handoff to Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving as Tristan Wirfs slipped from left tackle, prompting the tackle-eligible touchdown pass.
- Wirfs, a 6-foot-5, 320-pound lineman and three-time All‑Pro, has started every game in five NFL seasons and won a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay.
- The victory left Tampa Bay 7-5 and atop the NFC South, as Chase McLaughlin hit a 57-yard field goal and Jacoby Brissett later threw incomplete on fourth-and-2.
- Coaches may deploy Tristan Wirfs in goal-line packages, and the Buccaneers host the New Orleans Saints next Sunday.
