TAMPA — The pantheon dedicated to football’s greatest running back tandems is not an expansive one. With two hands you can count the duos that have been truly dynamic.
Buccaneers running backs Doug Martin and Charles Sims are not on the cusp of joining that rare breed of backs, but they are on pace to do something few tag teams have done.
With 748 yards for Martin and 404 for Sims, the Tampa Bay twosome is on stride to become only the sixth pair of backs since 2009 to rack up more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage each in the same season.
