Player Of The Game It wasn't just the numbers that Antonio Bryant produced that made him the MVP of this game, it was when and how he produced them. Two of Bryant's team-leading eight catches converted third downs into first downs, one set up the Bucs' first field goal and another was the touchdown that allowed the Bucs to tie the score with a 2-point conversion. There was also a catch for 16 yards that would have proved critical had the drive not resulted in a fumble. Bryant's first catch might have been his best. It was a one-handed grab along the left sideline as he fought off the defense of cornerback Maurice Leggett. Bryant beat Leggett on his touchdown catch as well, that one coming on a long toss into the end zone (imagine that) in the fourth quarter. Bryant's catches accounted for 115 yards of offense for the Bucs, who needed to be a pass-first team to get back in the game. ...more

Player Of The Game He doesn't usually get the notoriety that DeMarcus Ware and Zach Thomas get, but the Cowboys probably don't win this game without LB Bradie James. James was a big part of a Dallas pass rush that continually collapsed the pocket around Jeff Garcia, especially in the fourth quarter. He finished the day with six tackles, second only to Thomas, and had one sack, one tackle for a loss, two quarterback hits and a pass defended. Dallas needed to step up in a big way to break out of its slump Sunday, and James led a defensive unit that did that from start to finish. ...more

Forty-seven seconds. That's how long it took for the Bucs defense to implode. It was the late first-half span - blink and you missed it - in which poise and discipline went out the window. Four defensive penalties by the Bucs provided a magic carpet ride for the Dallas Cowboys, who were almost startled to score Sunday afternoon's only touchdown. ...more
