The Bucs’ third straight win came on the back of the ground game once more as they overcome three Brian Griese interceptions, the third of which had put the Pack ahead in the fourth quarter.  "Stopping the run was the key to it all," Bucs defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin said. "We were able to make them one-dimensional that way and the guys did a good job of disguising things."
