The Bucs defense held Minnesota without an offensive touchdown for the first time since the 2001 season and limited the Vikings to 33 rushing yards. CB Brian Kelly matched his career-high with two interceptions while DE Simeon Rice recorded one sack and one forced fumble. Two Bucs rookies led the offensive charge as TE Alex Smith hauled in two TD receptions and RB Carnell “Cadillac” Williams rushed for 148 yards on 27 carries, the fifth-highest rushing total in NFL history for a rookie debut, including a 71-yard TD run late in the game to secure the victory. Tampa Bay fell behind 7-0 late in the first quarter as Vikings S Darren Sharper returned an interception 88 yards for a score. But the Buccaneers would dominate the second quarter, scoring 17 unanswered points as QB Brian Griese found Smith for a 23-yard scoring pass on the first play of the second frame following an eight-play, 71-yard drive. Two drives later, Tampa Bay marched 80 yards on 11 plays as Griese hooked up with Smith from two yards out as Tampa Bay took a 14-7 lead. The Buccaneers closed out the scoring in the first half as K Matt Bryant connected from 41 yards to push the score to 17-7. Minnesota registered the only points of the third quarter on a K Paul Edinger 53-yard field goal. The Vikings closed the deficit to 17-13 following an Edinger 22-yard field goal with 6:13 remaining in the contest and regained possession with 4:11 remaining after a Buccaneers punt. Minnesota advanced to the Tampa Bay 12-yard line but Kelly recorded his second interception with 1:45 remaining. On third-and-one on the ensuing drive, Williams put the game out of reach with his first career touchdown run. Trailing 24-13, the Vikings regained possession but LB Derrick Brooks picked off a QB Daunte Culpepper pass to end any comeback attempt.

HISTORY ATLANTA – Tampa Bay earned its second consecutive victory in the game’s final two minutes on K Matt Bryant’s game-winning 45-yard FG with 42 seconds remaining. LB Derrick Brooks helped set up Bryant’s FG, blitzing Atlanta QB Michael Vick to help force a fumble that Bucs LB Shelton Quarles recovered in Falcons territory. Atlanta had an opportunity to tie the game on the ensuing possession but Michael Koenen’s 55-yard FG sailed wide right as time expired. Tampa Bay jumped out to a 10-0 first quarter lead as Bryant hit a 31-yard FG and Rice stripped Atlanta backup QB Matt Schaub, who had entered the game to replace an injured Michael Vick for one play, and DT Anthony McFarland recovered the fumble in the end zone for a TD. The teams traded field goals in the second quarter before Atlanta RB T.J. Duckett scored from one yard out with 16 seconds remaining in the first half, cutting Tampa Bay’s lead to 13-10. Atlanta took the opening possession of the second half 73 yards in 10 plays to take its first lead of the game at 17-13 on a Vick four-yard TD pass to TE Alge Crumpler. The Buccaneers responded with an impressive drive of their own, marching 69 yards in seven plays on the ensuing possession to regain the lead at 20-17 following FB Mike Alstott’s one-yard TD run, his fourth in the last three games. Atlanta scored the game’s next 10 points in the fourth quarter on a K Todd Peterson 20-yard field goal and a Vick 10-yard TD pass to WR Michael Jenkins that was set up by LB Keith Brooking’s interception of Bucs QB Chris Simms near midfield. Trailing 27-20 midway through the final quarter, Simms engineered an 11-play, 71yard drive that culminated with a nine-yard Carnell Williams TD run just after the two-minute warning. On the third play of Atlanta’s next possession, Brooks burst through the Falcons offensive line to pressure Vick into fumbling, setting up Bryant’s game-winner four plays later. ADMINISTRATION PLAYERS 2005 SEASON REVIEW HISTORY RECORDS SIDELINES GAME 11 BEARS 13 BUCS 10 November 27, 2005 Raymond James Stadium (65,506) TAMPA – The Buccaneers had an opportunity to tie the Bears late in the fourth quarter, but K Matt Bryant’s 29-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right to help the Bears hold off Tampa Bay. In a battle between two of the league’s top five defenses, the Buccaneers limited Chicago to just 239 total yards. DE Simeon Rice recorded his ninth sack of the season, including his seventh in his past seven games, while also posting his fifth forced fumble in his previous five contests. Following a Chicago punt on its first possession, Tampa Bay took over inside its own 10-yard line but QB Chris Simms was stripped by Bears DE Alex Brown on third down. The Bears recovered the fumble on the Bucs one-yard line and QB Kyle Orton then found TE John Gilmore for a 7-0 lead. Late in the first quarter, Tampa Bay cut the lead to 7-3 on a Bryant 27-yard FG. The defenses would dominate the second quarter, with the only scoring coming with 17 seconds remaining on Chicago K Robbie Gould’s 25-yard FG. Chicago extended its lead to 13-3 late in the third quarter on a 36-yard FG by Gould. The Buccaneers closed to within three at 13-10 with 7:00 left in the contest on FB Mike Alstott’s two-yard TD plunge, his team-best sixth rushing TD of the season. Following a Bears punt, Tampa Bay began the next drive at its 31-yard line. Simms guided the Bucs to the Bears 11-yard line, setting up the potential game-tying FG with 2:51 remaining. In the contest, WR Joey Galloway became just the seventh player in Buccaneers history to record 1,000 receiving yards in a season.

Time of Possession INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS HISTORY 1 2005 SEASON REVIEW SCORING PLAYERS BATON ROUGE – CB Ronde Barber tied his own club record with three interceptions, including his final interception at the Tampa Bay goal line with less than two minutes to play, to seal the Buccaneers fourth road victory of the season. Playing in Baton Rouge for the first time because of Hurricane Katrina, the Buccaneers defense forced four QB Aaron Brooks interceptions while limiting the Saints to 65 rushing yards. Conversely, the Buccaneers offense did not commit a turnover and produced 133 rushing yards, led by RB Carnell Williams’ 96 yards on 22 carries. On its second possession of the game, New Orleans drove inside Buccaneers territory but Barber made a one-handed interception over the middle to end the Saints threat. After a scoreless first quarter, Tampa Bay followed Barber’s second INT of the day with a five-play, 64-yard drive that culminated with a QB Chris Simms to WR Joey Galloway 30-yard touchdown pass and a 7-0 Buccaneers lead. New Orleans cut the lead to 7-3 on the ensuing possession just before halftime on a K John Carney 26-yard FG. The Saints threatened on the opening possession of the second half, driving to the Buccaneers 30-yard line, but Brooks was intercepted in the end zone by Tampa Bay S Dexter Jackson. Following a scoreless third quarter, Tampa Bay extended its lead to 10-3 with 9:37 remaining in the game on K Todd France’s 28-yard field goal. New Orleans would advance to the Tampa Bay 20-yard line in the game’s final minutes, but Barber preserved the victory with his third interception. ADMINISTRATION PLAYERS BUCS 20 PANTHERS 10 December 11, 2005 Bank of America Stadium (73,467) CHARLOTTE – Rookie RB Carnell Williams’ second rushing touchdown of the day put Tampa Bay up by 17 points with 5:39 remaining in the contest, propelling the Buccaneers to their first win over Carolina in their last six meetings. In a battle for first place in the NFC South, Williams tied the Buccaneers’ team single-season record with his fifth 100-yard rushing performance of the season, totaling 112 yards on 29 carries with a career-high two touchdowns. CB Ronde Barber became the first cornerback in NFL history to record 20 sacks and 20 interceptions in his career, dropping QB Jake Delhomme for his 20th career sack in the fourth quarter while also recording his 28th career interception in the fourth quarter. The Buccaneers defense had an impressive outing, allowing the Panthers to convert just 2-of-11 third downs on the afternoon. Tampa Bay took advantage of good field position on its second possession of the game, taking a 7-0 lead on Williams’ 14-yard TD run at the 4:04 mark of the first quarter. Playing much of the second quarter in Carolina territory, Tampa Bay extended its lead to 10-0 on K Matt Bryant’s 34yard FG on the last play of the first half. The teams exchanged field goals in the third quarter as Tampa Bay took a 13-3 lead into the final quarter. Carolina drove deep into Buccaneers territory early in the fourth quarter, but Barber intercepted a Delhomme pass inside the 10-yard line to end the scoring threat. Tampa Bay responded on the resulting possession, marching 58 yards in 10 plays to put the game out of reach on Williams’ 10-yard TD run.

Tampa Bay WR Ike Hilliard led the team with five catches for 50 yards, surpassing 400 career receptions in the contest while DE Simeon Rice recorded his 10th sack of the season, marking the eighth time overall and fifth consecutive season, he has recorded at least 10 sacks, tying him for fifth-most in NFL history in both categories. Tampa Bay surrendered a touchdown on the opening drive of the game for the first time all season as the Patriots took a 7-0 lead on a QB Tom Brady to T Tom Ashworth one-yard touchdown pass. New England’s second scoring drive in the second quarter was aided by two 15-yard penalties on the Buccaneers as the Patriots extended their lead to 14-0 on a three-yard RB Corey Dillon touchdown run. On Tampa Bay’s next possession with less than two minutes remaining before halftime, Patriots LB Willie McGinest forced and recovered a QB Chris Simms fumble inside Tampa Bay territory. Three plays later, Brady found WR David Givens on a 16-yard touchdown pass with 27 seconds remaining in the half for a 21-0 lead.

Four plays later, Simms threw his second TD pass of the day, this time to FB Mike Alstott for a 14-7 lead. Following a Simms INT near midfield, Atlanta tied the game late in the first half on a Vick to WR Michael Jenkins eight-yard TD pass.

Redskins QB Mark Brunell was limited to seven completions on 15 attempts for 41 yards and one interception while the Washington rushing attack averaged only 3.1 yards per carry. Tampa Bay fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter following two miscues. Redskins LB LaVar Arrington picked off a tipped QB Chris Simms pass deep in Buccaneers territory on their second possession, setting up a RB Clinton Portis six-yard TD run. On the ensuing possession, RB Carnell “Cadillac” Williams fumbled and Redskins S Sean Taylor returned it 51 yards for a touchdown. The two teams traded field goals in the second quarter as Washington held a 17-3 lead at halftime. Tampa Bay cut the lead to 17-10 on its first possession of the second half, driving 51 yards in seven plays as Simms capped it off with a two-yard TD run for what turned out to be the final scoring of the day. Following a CB Brian Kelly interception in Washington territory with just under four minutes remaining, the Buccaneers had a chance to tie the game but Simms’ 35-yard pass into the end zone to WR Edell Shepherd was ruled incomplete. Tampa Bay regained possession near midfield with 1:05 left in the contest, but Simms was intercepted following another tipped ball on the first play of the drive.
