After recording his 10th sack of the season, Barrett became the fourth player in the history of the team to have at least 10 sacks in a season, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Lee Roy Selmon and Warren Sapp and Super Bowl champion Simeon Rice.
One of the legs of the quarterback was stepped on as he rushed to collapse the pocket on a third-down pass attempt. He was on the field for a while, but was able to walk off himself. He left the game after trying to play the first defensive series of the second half.
Pierre-Paul has been battling a torn rotator cuff for the entire season. Running back Leonard Fournette, wide receiver Mike Evans, inside linebacker Lavonte David, and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. are all out for the season.
Without Pierre-Paul, the Bucs relied on Joe Tryon-Shoyinka. Anthony Nelson and Cam Gill are being called on to fill in for Barrett.
