PLAYER(S) OF THE GAME This was a tale of two backs - DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Both are bruising runners and they bruised the Bucs badly in this one, combining for 301 yards and four touchdowns. They were fairly effective in the first half, running 14 times for a combined 84 yards and one TD.

Time doesn't stand still in the National Football League, but Joey Galloway does. At least that's how it has been lately for the guy who made a name as the fastest receiver for the Bucs. He is apparently healthy - normally big news – but it hasn't mattered. He has lost his job to Antonio Bryant, so Galloway has been on the sideline for all but a few plays of recent games. ...more
