The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are having a really hard time keeping Tavon Austin out of the end zone. 

There are times that we’re reminded that St. Louis Rams receiver Tavon Austin is one of the most explosive players in the NFL. Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he’s out here showing off that video game-like skill and the Buccaneers are getting embarrassed in the process.

In the first half of this one, Austin burned the Buccaneers defense and made them look silly en route to the end zone. In the third quarter, he just felt like doing it again.

Austin took the end-around from Case Keenum and he just weaved his way through the Tampa Bay defense with relative ease, grabbing himself his second score of the game, this time from 21 yards out.


That’s a play straight out of his days at West Virginia, which is where he garnered so much attention for himself in the first place.

The Buccaneers’ defense is having a really rough night, as Tavon Austin had made this entire game a nightmare for the unit that gets criticized so much to begin with. Film study is going to suck this upcoming week for them, as they watch this, as well as the first score, over and over.
