Buccaneers featured back Doug Martin appeared on the verge of a strong game Sunday against Cincinnati. But his performance and that of the entire offense quickly fizzled out.
Martin rushed for 29 yards on seven attempts in the first quarter and added a 7-yard touchdown over right tackle early in the second to give him 48 yards on 10 carries. But he managed just 10 more yards on eight tries thereafter. He finished with 58 yards on 18 rushes and three yards on one reception.
The Buccaneers play against the host Lions next Sunday.
