Bucs WR Antonio Bryant vs. Chargers CB Antonio Cromartie Bryant has become a real force in the Bucs' offense the past few weeks. He has clearly regained his comfort level with the league, and he is making plays all over the field. He is proving to be tough to slow down one-on-one, but he could have a hard time beating Cromartie. Cromartie has the size, speed and athleticism to match Bryant nearly stride-for-stride, and he is a big-time playmaker. The one thing Cromartie doesn't do well is tackle. If the Bucs can get the ball into Bryant's hands, he should win the battle for yards because he'll require more than Cromartie to bring him down. ...more

Bucs CB Ronde Barber vs. Lions WR Calvin Johnson The days of the Lions running four- and five-receiver sets are gone. Detroit has gone to a more conventional offensive approach, and the Lions are likely to stick to that approach today because it offers them a distinct advantage. Though Barber has an experience edge on Johnson, Johnson has a physical edge that the Lions are sure to try to exploit. Barber will have to have one of his best games to keep Johnson from having a big day but even then he'll still need help from the Bucs pass rushers and his safeties. ...more

PLAYER OF THE GAME The Bucs never win this game without the stellar play of their defense and they don't win without the stellar play of their quarterback, Jeff Garcia, either. ...more

Two-Seam Fastball Hold the index and middle fingers with the seams. How it works: The pitch is thrown with an arm side run, which allows the ball to dip away to left-handed hitters (or right-handed if the pitcher is a lefty) and into a right-handed batter (or into a lefty for a left-handed pitcher). ...more
