The Buccaneers lost a heartbreaker as they took the lead 23-22 with 1:14 seconds left in the game but then the defense gave up the game.  Josh Freeman had another solid game as he completed 16 of 28 passes for 196 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 7 times for 36 yards (5.1 ypc) earlier today.  One area that Freeman has to do a better job of is holding onto the football as he fumbled 4 times today (losing 1).  Cadillac Williams led the way on the ground for the Bucs in this game with 52 yards rushing on 14 carries (3.7 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Derrick Ward pitched in with 34 yards rushing on only 10 carries (3.4 ypc) today.  Kellen Winslow led the way in the passing game for the Bucs today with 7 catches for 102 yards (14.6 avg).  WR Maurice Stovall pitched in with 4 catches for 47 yards (11.8 avg) with a TD grab.  The Buccaneers finished up with 302 total yards on offense (122 rushing, 180 passing)  in this game.

The Bucs’ D was pretty awful as usual in this game.  Safeties Tanard Jackson and Sabby Piscitelli led the way for the Bucs in this game with 9 tackles apiece.  Linebacker Quincy Black pitched in for the Bucs with 7 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception today.  The Dolphins finished up with 374 total yards in this game (199 rushing, 175 passing) today.  The Buccaneers are now 1-8 on the season.
