The first big test for the Bucs defense came on the Giants' second drive, on a third-and-1 play from the New York 23. To no one's surprise, the Giants opted to hand the ball to Brandon Jacobs, who was directed to run off right tackle instead of straight into a stacked middle of the Bucs line. It didn't matter. The Bucs were ready for Jacobs and dropped him for a 1-yard loss that ended their second drive after just three plays, forcing the Giants to punt. When Jeff Feagles shanked his punt, the Bucs took over at their 46 and 10 plays later, the Bucs led 7-0. ...more

Joey Galloway wasn't in the lineup Sunday; he was one of the many regulars who got the day off. Four plays into the game, on a first-and-10 from the Carolina 43, the Bucs sent Galloway's replacement, Chad Lucas, deep down the right sideline on a go route. As he often did during the exhibition season, Lucas found an opening in the defense. He had to slow down and come back a bit for Luke McCown's throw, but he caught the ball at the 5-yard line for a 52-yard gain. That set up the Bucs' first score, a touchdown that came three plays later on a 3-yard McCown-to-Jerramy Stevens pass. ...more

Just as he did a week ago in New Orleans, Bucs coach Jon Gruden took an aggressive approach to his play calling Sunday. Faced with a fourth-and-2 from the Texans' 34 just 4:36 into the game, Gruden decided to go for it. He ran Earnest Graham up the middle, but just as defensive end Mario Williams had done one play earlier, safety Will Demps stopped Graham well short of the first down marker. That allowed the Texans to take possession and 12 plays, 66 yards and 6:19 later, they took a 7-0 lead when Sage Rosenfels hit Andre Johnson with a 4-yard TD pass. ...more
