A narrow win on the road against a team without a victory all season but they had to rely on a Karl Williams
punt return touchdown and a late Martin Gramatica fieldgoal to do it. The defense couldn't shut down Charlie
Batch when it had the opportunity but at least Tony Dungy's team got themseles back to .500 on the season.
