Monday night's victory was the seventh in eight games for the Bucs, who drove 80 yards without any timeouts to score the winning touchdown with 48 seconds remaining. Warrick Dunn rushed for 145 yards and three TDs, King threw for 256 yards and the Bucs outgained the NFL's top-ranked offense 446 yards to 388. He had that look. I knew he was going to get it done. The big night for the offense, which ranks 20th overall, raised the question of why Tampa Bay plays so conservative against opponents who aren't as explosive as teams like the Rams and Vikings, who surrendered 41 points to the Bucs in a four-touchdown loss on Oct. 29.
Every opponent is different.
It's easy to focus in on one guy and say he should do this, this guy's getting paid a lot of money. But you have to perform as a team, and we have confidence in our receivers and all those guys have jobs to do, and last night we got them done.
