Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30, Green Bay Packers 21
The Bucs won this game the old fashioned way…..with the running game and defense. Brian Griese did not look good in this game completing 15 of 30 passes for 149 yards with 1 TD pass and 3 interceptions. Earnest Graham was the main man for the Bucs in this game as he carried the ball 20 times for 111 yards (5.6 ypc) with a TD run. Warrick Dunn also got his fair share of work in this game rushing for 63 yards on 16 carries (3.9 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 23 yards (11.5 avg). TE Alex Smith caught 2 passes for 26 yards (13.0 avg) but one of his grabs was good for a 9-yard TD. The Bucs finished up this game with 178 yards rushing on 41 carries (4.3 ypc) and they also completed 15 of 30 passes for 149 yards.
The defense was awesome for the Bucs in this football game. Ronde Barber led the team with 6 tackles but a lot of other plays made bigger plays. LB Barrett Ruud finished up with 5 tackles, a interception and a sack. DE Gaines Adams was all over the field finishing with 5 tackles and a interception. Safety Jermaine Phillips only had 2 tackles but he recovered a fumble and returned it 38 yards for a TD. The Packers finished up with 28 yards rushing on 18 carries (1.6 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 32 passes for 153 yards. The Buccaneers are now 3-1 on the season with this win.
