The Bucs had almost forgotten how to win
The running game finally shows up
When the Lions jumped out to a 10-0 lead, it looked like a fourth straight loss for the Buccaneers, but Craig
Erickson finally won his first start for the Bucs behind two touchdown passes and a 100-yard game on the
ground by Reggie Cobb. Lawrence Dawsey was injured on the first play of the game and was lost for the season.
