Big man touchdown: Buccaneers' lineman Tristan Wirfs catches TD from Baker Mayfield image

This season has been devoid of big man touchdowns.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made sure that didn't last by coming through with one on Sunday in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Down near the goal line, QB Baker Mayfield went play-action. He first looked into the right flat where tight end Cade Otton was covered.

Mayfield then came back to his left, where big No. 78 Tristan Wirfs had leaked out, wide open.

So there it was, Mayfield to his All-Pro left tackle Wirfs, touchdown.

The Buccaneers had brought in an extra offensive lineman, and Wirfs lined up wide of him, to make him an eligible receiver.

It's the first career catch for Wirfs.

He actually already had nine receiving yards in the NFL thanks to a lateral play last year, but he'd never gotten a reception himself until this one.

The Bucs were rightly fired up about this. Wirfs is one of the league's best offensive linemen, and he works hard to block for his teammates.

This play allowed Tampa Bay to celebrate Wirfs.
