The Bucs won their third straight game despite losing Jeff Garcia to injury early in the game. The offense did not do much behind Bruce Gradkowski. "It was a very ugly game as far as the offense is concerned” Garcia said. "But that was a tremendous job by our defense. We won this game because of how our defense played."
