A big win over a division rival took the Bucs to 4-2 but no-one realised this would be the high point of the season and indeed the final win of Raheem Morris’ coaching stint. Josh Freeman posted another turnover- free 300-yard game with two scores and Tanard Jackson’s return from his long NFL-imposed suspension proved to be a winning and decisive one too.
