TAMPA, Fla. -- Baker Mayfield threw more downfield blocks than he had completions.

Mayfield didn't complete a pass but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Atlanta Falcons 16-0 on Sunday behind Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell 's huge days rushing on a wet, sloppy field.

"I'll do whatever it takes to win," Mayfield said after going 0-for-3 passing. "That's all that matters to me."

The Buccaneers (3-5) set a team record for yards rushing in a game with 324 and became the first team to have zero completions since Buffalo on Sept. 29, 1974. The Bills beat the Jets 16-12 in that one, which had been the only time an NFL team didn't complete a pass in the Super Bowl era.

Irving ran for 170 yards and one touchdown on 27 carries, and Gainwell ran for 140 on 25 carries.…
