Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers accomplished the impossible on Sunday in a win over the Atlanta Falcons.
The Buccaneers defeated the Falcons 16-0 on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., and they did so without completing a single pass. Mayfield went 0/3 with 0 yards and ran out a winner anyway.
This was the first time an NFL team won a game without a single completed pass since the Buffalo Bills beat the New York Jets in such fashion on Sept. 29, 1974.
The Buccaneers beat the Falcons, 16-0, with zero pass completions. They become the first NFL team since the Bills in 1974 to win a game without completing a pass.

The primary reason for the lack of a pass game was the weather in Tampa, which was rainy and muddy. Mayfield attempted two passes in the first quarter and one more on the first drive of the third quarter, but otherwise, the team had little choice but to shelve the pass game.
The football itself was so wet that Mayfield fumbled several times, including instances like this, when he recovered his own fumble and salvaged five yards out of it.
