That one was about as impressive at they come.

The Bucs knocked off a surging Seahawks team, 14-5, to improve to 6-5 on the season and position themselves for a playoff push over the next five weeks. Tampa Bay dominated the game on both sides of the ball, sacking quarterback Russell Wilson six times and coming up with critical takeaways on defense, while starting the game with two quick touchdowns to go up 14-0 in the first quarter.

Jameis Winston was efficient while Mike Evans dominated the Legion of Boom. Doug Martin, behind solid blocking, ran tough against one of the NFL’s vaunted front sevens. And the Bucs defense turned in one of the single best performances for any defense this season.

CB ALTERRAUN VERNER
Playing with a heavy heart after the loss of his father over the weekend, Verner turned in perhaps the best game of his career, certainly his best in Tampa Bay. With the score at 14-5 late in the second quarter, the Seahawks, at the Bucs 29-yard line, were poised to come away with at least a field goal before half. Then Verner made an incredible play to intercept a pass over the middle and initiate an emotional scene on the field. Verner added a couple more pass breakups to his memorable day, along with two tackles and an assist in Lavonte David’s forced fumble in the fourth quarter.

S BRADLEY MCDOUGALD
Just when it seemed like the Seahawks were going to pull within one score and set up an onside kick with just over a minute left, McDougald stepped in front of a deep pass and iced the game with an interception. The young safety also broke up a third-and-10 pass in the fourth quarter (one of 10 third-down stops for the Bucs defense) and had three tackles for two yards or less in the first quarter. He finished with five, leading a secondary along with Verner that allowed just 151 yards through the air.

LB LAVONTE DAVID
David had been looking for a splash play, and on Sunday he got it. Just as critical as the two interceptions was David’s forced fumble that prevented the Seahawks from making it a one-score game with over seven minutes to play. What’s more, David returned the fumble, jarred loose from All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham, 53 yards to the Seattle 25-yard line, igniting the raucous crowd at Ray Jay and all but sealing the win late in the fourth quarter. Helping to hold the Seahawks’ backfield to just 47 yards, David finished with seven tackles on Sunday.

QB JAMEIS WINSTON
Winston was efficient, completing 21 of 28 for 220 yards with two TDs and one INT, and started fast, throwing both scores on the opening drives. By comparison, Russell Wilson, a Super Bowl winning QB and MVP candidate, finished 17 of 33 for 151 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. The Bucs signal caller also remained clean – a credit to the offensive line and his own escapabilty – while Wilson was sacked six times. From extending plays to hitting nine different receivers, it’s clear Winston is finding his stride and leading an impressive young offense.

WR MIKE EVANS
Becoming just the fourth receiver in NFL history to eclipse 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons is one thing. Hitting the mark in Week 12, on a day where he often lined up against Richard Sherman, is another. Sunday was the seventh 90-yard outing this season for Evans, whose monster performances are becoming routine and expected. He finished with a game-high eight catches for 104 yards and both Bucs touchdowns, the second of which being a highlight reel play over Sherman.

DE NOAH SPENCE
At this rate, the Bucs could finally have a 10-sack man after all. Spence, who has 5.5 on the season in limited action, added 1.5 to his count Sunday. Along with sharing a sack with Gerald McCoy on the Seahawks’ first drive, Spence got another on third down on the first play of the second quarter. The rookie, who started the season as a “designated pass rusher,” embodies the development of the entire defense under Mike Smith over the past few weeks. Spence added five tackles to his day.

DT GERALD MCCOY
McCoy, who now has six sacks in 2016, also added 1.5 against the Seahawks. The Bucs All-Pro got to Wilson for the second time on third-and-6 in the fourth quarter, giving Tampa Bay its 10th third-down stop on the day against a normally prolific offense. McCoy finished with three tackles, anchoring a defensive line that set the stage for Thomas Rawls’ 38-yard rushing day.

CB VERNON HARGREAVES III
It seems like Hargreaves’ name hasn’t been called for three weeks, which is typically a good sign for a cornerback. On Sunday very few passes went the rookie’s way and he finished with five tackles. While Hargreaves didn’t get in on the splash-play action and is yet to record his first career interception, the silence on his side of the field is telling of his progression.

P BRYAN ANGER & GUNNER JOSH ROBINSON
The Bucs punter-gunner duo this season could be stacked up against any around the league. Sunday saw another incredible effort by the often-overlooked pair, as Anger pinned the opponent inside the 20 three times while Robinson capitalized on the final 56-yard bomb in the fourth quarter by tackling Seattle returner Tyler Lockett at the seven-yard line. Tampa Bay won the all-important battle of field position and that’s due in large part to Anger and Robinson.

Honorable Mention: DT Ryan Russell (sack in the fourth quarter, forced Wilson into bad throw on third down in the first), DE Robert Ayers (sack in the second quarter, good pressure throughout) and S Chris Conte (team-leading seven solo tackles)
