Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 New Orleans Saints 3
Sunday 4 December 2005 at Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Ron Pitts and Tim Ryan
This was not a pretty win but it was a win all the same and the
Bucs moved to 8-4 with success over the displaced Saints
forced out of the Superdome all year after Hurricane Katrina.
Ronde Barber set a franchise record with three interceptions.
“"We talk about it all the time," he said. "This is the time of
year when you have to play your best ball, because this is the
time of year when championships are won and decided."
