A narrow win only secured when the potential tying extra point snap was fumbled and the chance to make the post- season remained alive for another week. Josh Freeman played another turnover-free game and threw a 41-yard scoring pass to Kellen Winslow followed by a two-point play that proved to be decisive. Josh Freeman bulled across the goal line on a quarterback draw. "That's a play with a couple of different options on it," Freeman said. "Cadillac … started pushing me and kept fighting."
