The Buccaneers probably shouldn’t have won this football game considering that they only had the ball for 22:23 of the game…..but they did!  Jeff Garcia led a last minute drive to set up the game winning 43-yard field goal by Matt Bryant with 11 seconds left in the game.  Garcia was the star of the offense today as he completed 20 of 31 passes for 274 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 interceptions.  Ernest Graham couldn’t get anything going on the ground for the Bucs as he carried the ball 13 times for 29 yards (2.2 ypc) and he also caught 6 passes for 17 yards (2.8 avg).  WRs Joey Galloway (4 rec, 97 yards, TD) and Ike Hilliard (4 rec, 59 yards) each gave Garcia the support he needed to win this game.  The Bucs finished up with only 30 yards rushing on 15 carries (2.0 ypc) but they completed 20 of 31 passes for 274 yards.

The defense was excellent as they were bending but not breaking all game long.  LB Barrett Ruud led the Bucs in tackles again with 11.  DE Jovan Hoye (10 tackles, sack) and LB Cato June (10 tackles) also were excellent for the defense.  The Titans rushed for 96 yards on 33 carries (2.9 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 34 passes for 221 yards.
