Barber gets Hall ring, thanks Philly fans
Ronde Barber accepted his Hall of Fame ring at halftime and could not help himself from taking one last shot on the field. The former Bucs cornerback thanked his family, teammates and Tampa Bay fans for their support as he received his ring - and then thanked the Eagles fans who made the trip south for Monday's game.

"I appreciate all the Philly fans who came down to celebrate my Hall of Fame election with me," Barber said with a laugh.

Barber was rubbing salt in the wounds of Eagles fans who remember his interception and return for a touchdown in the 2002 NFC Championship Game. Current Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield paid tribute to Barber, wearing his No. 20 jersey as he arrived for the game.

Devin White makes a bold prediction
Devin White was disappointed by the Bucs' loss, but the veteran linebacker was not going to let the third-week loss get blown out of proportion.

"That's one game. It was a big game and I wanted to beat them so bad, but I mean, at the end of the day, we'll see them again," White said with a smile on his face. "We're in the same (conference), and we're going to the playoffs. I'm saying that right now," White emphasized. "So, it is what it is."
