Bucs at Cardinals Recap

Bucs at Cardinals Recap

38-35 Bucs

It started ugly and finished just the same but in the end the Bucs stretch their road winning streak to 5 games (dating back to last season). It’s not often the Bucs put up 30+ points and they wouldn’t have Sunday without scores on defense. The Bucs and Cardinals scored three touchdowns on defense with the Bucs scoring twice on interception returns and the Cardinals once on a fumble. The Bucs took a seventeen point lead in the third quarter, from a LeGarrette Blount fifteen yard touchdown run, and looked to be in control of the game. The Bucs were then torched for twenty one unanswered points by the Cardinals before Josh Freeman was able to mount his fourth, fourth quarter comeback of the season. It did appear that after the Bucs took the lead the Cardinals with Derek Anderson at quarterback would have a shot to tie the game or take the lead. Aqib Talib (week 8 DPOW NFC) was able to jump a route and seal the game for the Bucs with his second interception of the game.
