Tampa Bay Buccaneers 13 Tennessee Titans 10 Sunday 14 October 2007 at Raymond James Stadium CBS COMMENTARY CREW Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf
Matt Bryant’s 43-yard fieldgoal with 11 seconds remaining lifted the Bucs to 4-2 in a defensive battle over the Titans. Jeff Garcia led the game-winning drive connecting with veteran receivers Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard as the Tampa offense finally got moving having stalled on the ground the entire game.
