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. They turned it on in the second half, though, at one point running 15 times for 170 yards and three touchdowns in an 18-minute span that decided the outcome. Perhaps the most amazing thing about their performance is that they made most of their yards after contact, breaking tackle after tackle against one of the best tackling units in the league. ...more

If they do that with Moore as the target, look for a big play from Barber. ...more
