Monday Night football came back to Tampa for the first time in 15 years. And at Raymond James Stadium when Trent completed his second slant pattern of the night that went over 60 yards for a score, the sell-out crowd in Tampa went totally bananas. The Packers did get close at the end, but this was always going to be the Bucs' night as the Pewter Bandwagon began to pick up speed.
