Game notes and anecdotes The Tampa Tribune, published 16 November 2009 The Bucs and Dolphins have now played nine times in the regular season, with Miami taking a 5-4 edge in the series with Sunday’s win. The loss snapped Tampa Bay’s three-game winning streak in the series. Davin Joseph played in his 50th regular-season NFL game on Sunday. Joseph started at right guard and blocked for Tampa bay’s 122-yard rushing output. T Donald Penn blocked a Miami extra point attempt in the first quarter, marking the second time Tampa Bay has rejected a PAT this season. CB Ronde Barber recorded the first one at Washington on October 4. Connor Barth’s 51-yard field goal was the longest of his career…for about two quarters. He previously hit a long of 45 last season while playing for the Kansas City Chiefs. Barth later added a 50-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 54-yarder in the third quarter, making him the first kicker in team history with three 50+-yard field goals in the same game. Martin Gramatica had the previous record with two, accomplishing that feat four times, the most recent one against Carolina on October 27, 2002. Gramatica hit four field goals in that game, a thrilling 12-9 win for the Buccaneers en route to the Super Bowl, including one from 53 yards and one from 52. No other Buc kicker ever hit multiple 50+-yarders in the same game. S Tanard Jackson recovered a fumble in the third quarter, leading to a Buccaneer touchdown drive. Jackson has now snared a turnover in four straight games, as he had an interception in each of the previous three contests. The Buccaneers declared the following eight players inactive prior to Sunday’s game: WR Yamon Figurs, CB Mike Mickens, FB Chris Pressley, G Shawn Murphy, T James Lee, WR Antonio Bryant, DE Stylez G. White and designated third quarterback Byron Leftwich. Bryant and White were out due to injury.
