The Bucs clinched the NFC South Division today with a convincing 27 to 13 victory over the Saints. Before the season began no one gave the Bucs much of a chance this year to make the Playoffs. NFC South Champs sure sounds good! The Bucs' first playoff game this weekend is against the Washington Redskins who still believe they were robbed of a victory a few weeks ago as they lost a close one to the Bucs. Get ready Tampa Bay, the Bucs are back in the playoffs.....GAME STATS

The Bucs defeat the Falcons 27 to 24 with 15 seconds left in overtime. This game may go down in Bucs' history as one of the most heart stopping games in the last few years. The Falcons were favored by most at the beginning of the season to win the NFC South and are now eliminated from the playoffs. The Bucs can wrap up the Division with a win over the Saints this weekend.....GAME STATS

The Patriots left the Bucs dazed and confused after blanking them 20 to 0 last Saturday afternoon. The Bucs go 2 and 1 on this last road trip and return home for their last two games of the season. The Falcons come calling next weekend in what promises to be a hard hitting game. The Bucs will bounce back strong in what should be an exciting end to the season.....GAME STATS

Head Coach Jon Gruden celebrates as the Bucs take over the NFC South division lead with a 20 to 10 road victory over the Panthers. CB Ronde Barber intercepted another pass deep in Bucs' territory and recorded a sack which puts him in the 20/20 club having recorded both 20 sacks and interceptions in his career. QB Chris Simms turned in another solid performance and seems to be completely comfortable in his role leading the offense. RB Carnell Williams is back to early season form as he rushed for 112-yards and 2 touchdowns......GAME STATS

CB Ronde Barber intercepted 3 passes deep in Bucs' territory to help secure a 10 to 3 victory over the Saints. WR Joey Galloway scored the only Bucs' touchdown on a 30-yard pass from QB Chris Simms. Simms is still learning on the job and passed his first test on the tough 3 game stretch on the road. The Bucs travel to Carolina next weekend to take on the Panthers for a chance to take control of the NFC South division.....GAME STATS

The Bucs lose a closely fought contest to the Bears 13 to 10 after Kicker Matt Bryant missed a 29-yard field goal late that would have tied the game. FB Mike Alstott scored a touchdown diving over the line of scrimmage in the fourth quarter to draw the Bucs closer. WR Joe Galloway had another solid outing proving to be one of the Bucs' most potent weapons. The Bucs will travel to take on the Saints this weekend and try to put this loss out of their minds. ....GAME STATS

The Bucs' defense comes up big late thanks to LB Derrick Brooks and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. K Matt Bryant made a 45-yard field goal late in the game to give the Bucs a 30 to 27 win over the Falcons. QB Chris Simms turned in another solid performance and RB Cadillac Williams finally got things rolling again. Fan favorite FB Mike Alstott scored another touchdown diving over the top of the defense for the second week in a row.....GAME STATS

QB Chris Simms had the game of his life throwing 3 touchdowns with no interceptions as the Bucs beat the Redskins 36 to 35 in a thriller. FB Mike Alstott was the hero of the game rushing for 2 touchdowns and the game winning 2 point conversion late in the game. The Bucs must go on the road to play the Falcons this weekend. This will be one of the best match ups this weekend...GAME STATS

The Carolina Panthers beat the Bucs for the 5th straight time 34 to 14 last Sunday. The Bucs have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are searching for a running game. QB Chris Simms has shown signs that he can lead the team, but must make better decisions and protect the football. This weekend the Bucs take on the Washington Redskins. Look for this to be a defensive battle. Go Bucs!..GAME STATS

The Buccaneers lose a closely contested contest 15 - 10 to the San Francisco 49ers. QB Chris Simms' first start this year was less than spectacular. He looked unsure and indecisive all game. His play must improve if the Bucs have any plans of winning the NFC South this year. The Bucs are the last team to start divisional play this weekend. They host the Carolina Panthers, a team that always plays the Bucs tough. A win against the Panthers would go a long way for Simms' confidence and the team......GAME STATS

The Buccaneers win going away 27 to 13 over the Dolphins, but the victory came at a price. QB Brian Griese may have torn his anterior cruciate ligament when LB Zach Thomas rolled into his leg late in the second quarter. QB Chris Simms replaced him and helped lead the Buccaneers to their 5th victory of the year. We should know more about how serious Griese's injury is later this week. On a positive note the bye couldn't have come at a better time, Simms will have 2 weeks to practice with the first string as they prepare for San Francisco.....GAME STATS

Once again the Buccaneers' number one draft pick stole the show. Unfortunately it was Vinny Testaverde the Buccaneers' number one pick in 1987 who led the Jets to a 14 to 12 victory in a closely contested game. The Buccaneers' record is 4 - 1 on the season and they are still in the driver's seat in the NFC South Division. The Buccaneers' next match up is at home against the Dolphins......GAME STATS

The Lions couldn't believe their eyes after instant replay took a late score off the boards that would have given them their first win of the season. The Buccaneers' defense held off the Lions to earn a 17 to 13 victory improving their season record to 4 and 0.....GAME STATS

The Bucs win their third game in a row on the road in Green Bay 17 to 16. This is the Bucs' first win in Green Bay since 1989. The defense held the Packers to 16 points and frustrated QB Bret Favre by intercepting him 3 times. WR Joey Galloway accounted for both of the Bucs' touchdowns and RB Cadillac Williams had another impressive performance rushing for 158 yards.....GAME STATS

The Bucs win their home opener against the Buffalo Bills 19 to 3. The defense set the tone early and often, holding the Bills offense to a field goal. RB Cadillac Williams had his second solid performance rushing 24 times for 128 yards and 1 touchdown. The Bucs start the season 2 and 0 for the first time since 2000......GAME STATS

RB Cadillac Williams broke away for a 71 yard touchdown late in the game to insure a Bucs' victory 24 to 13 over the Vikings. The Bucs' defense also had a great game, keeping QB Daunte Culpepper and his high powered offense out of the end zone. The Bucs' new rookies showed up big accounting for all three touchdowns against the Vikings.
