PLAYER OF THE GAME Jeff Garcia took a beating Sunday. He was sacked six times and he lost two fumbles, including one that helped the Lions build their 17-point first-quarter lead. Without Garcia, though, the Bucs probably don't beat back the Lions and win this game.

His biggest plays came in the second quarter, when he solved the Bucs' red zone problems by making sure they scored before they got there. With pressure in his face on both plays, Garcia found Ike Hilliard 36 yards downfield for one score and Jerramy Stevens 24 yards downfield for another that proved to be the game-winner. ...more
