Lavonte David buries Dolphins running back Daniel Thomas Monday night for a safety. David and the Bucs set a team record for fewest rushing yards allowed in a game, two.

Here’s a stat for you to curl up in your blanket tonight, dreaming dreamy thoughts of Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, John Lynch and Ronde Barber:

The Bucs held the Dolphins to a mere two yards rushing. Yes, you read that right. Two yards rushing. Total. For the game. In four quarters.

That’s playing some football. Oh, and it is a Bucs record. Think about that for a moment. Some of the great defenses the Bucs have had all throughout the years and this much-maligned defense held the Dolphins to just two more yards than Joe had Monday night.

The previous record was 10 yards, which happened twice; one last year at home against the Stinking Panthers, and back in 1994 against the Redskins.

Bucs commander Greg Schiano lauded, in particular, linebacker Mason Foster.

“The guy struggled the last couple of week,” Schiano said. I thought mason Foster stepped up and played really [well]. I just saw him flying around out there tonight. All the pieces fit together. When you can have an effort like that, [holding an opponent to] two yards rushing, that’s going to eat a lot of clock. “
