A wild Halloween victory on the road thanks to 120 yards and two scores from LeGarette Blount including his highlight reel leaping run over a Cardinal defender. Josh Freeman led an efficient offense and the defense forced four interceptions including a pair of touchdowns from Geno Hayes and Aqib Talib. The Bucs were now 5-2 and leading the NFC to the surprise of many around the league.
