Buccaneers running back Charles Sims totaled 49 yards on 10 rushes and secured two of three targets for 17 yards in a Week 7 loss to the Redskins.

Sims served as a perfect complement to Doug Martin on an afternoon in which Tampa Bay gashed the normally-stout Redskins run defense. The second-year pro posted his best yards-per-carry average on the season, and has been the beneficiary of much better run blocking by the offensive line over the last two contests. Sims will continue his work as a key component of the Tampa offense in Week 8 against the Falcons.
