Two Bills Drive

‘With Tampa Bay leading the Bills 24-17 and the two-minute warning approaching, the Bucs called on Dunn to secure a few first downs. On second and 10, he cut back off left tackle and ran 39 yards for the win-sealing touchdown.’

‘Total yardage: 180. All the way? No way.’

‘It may have been the most phenomenal late hit in the history of the NFL.’

‘Buffalo’s Chris Mohr hit a towering, 57-yard punt to Karl Williams, who backpedaled and caught the ball on his 27-yard line — and the game suddenly took a dramatic turn.’

‘Johnson’s second-quarter touchdown pass was the first TD yielded by the Bucs defense in 10 quarters.’

‘The Bucs allowed a season-high seven sacks and Jeff Christy, right, and Dave Moore were flagged for holding. Not exactly a banner day for offensive line coach Chris Foerster’s group, a unit that allowed 18 sacks before Sunday.’

‘Bucs DT Warren Sapp – For all of his talk, don’t make the mistake of measuring Warren Sapp by his words. Measure him by his deeds.’

‘[Tony Dungy:] "That was a very tough win, but a great win for us. Buffalo plays with a lot of heart and soul, and any time you can beat them it’s a big win."’

‘[Rob Johnson:] "…Obviously, we have to start scoring points."’

‘For the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, this one was about refusing to give in; not to the pain, not to the moment and certainly not to the Buffalo Bills.’

‘"You hand me 31 points, and I`ll hand you the Vince Lombardi Trophy," Sapp told offensive coordinator Les Steckel after the game.’

‘"Our defense dominated the first half," Bills Coach Wade Phillips said Sunday after Tampa Bay`s 31-17 victory at Raymond James Stadium. "We were controlling the game until those injuries hit us. Those injuries killed us. Those were our best three players."’

‘On Sunday, the Bucs did what they needed to do against the Buffalo Bills. They didn’t turn the ball over once. They sacked Buffalo quarterback Rob Johnson six times.’

‘"They do have the best pass rush in the league," [Rob] Johnson said.’

‘But if you have a championship-caliber team – which Dungy and Sapp believe the Bucs have – you don’t worry about hurting people’s feelings.’
