Spurlock returns kickoff into Bucs' history

Remember this name: Michael Spurlock.

Remember this number: 1865.

Both are answers to trivia questions.

Spurlock became the first Tampa Bay Buccaneer to return a kickoff for a touchdown in the team’s 31-year history when he took one back 90 against Atlanta during the first quarter of Sunday’s game at Raymond James Stadium.

It came on the 1,865th kickoff return in team history.

Just when you thought the week couldn’t get any worse for the Falcons – their quarterback is sentenced to 23 years in prison for his role in a dog fighting ring Monday and the head coach unexpectedly resigns and takes a college job Tuesday – they allow the first kickoff return for a touchdown in Bucs history.

What’s more, the Falcons wanted to challenge the play, claiming Spurlock stepped out of bounds inside the 10-year line, but not one official saw the red challenge flag on the field.
