Game Notes

Bucs gives the Saints a 48-21 beating.

Tampa Bay scores on its 1st 3 possessions en route to a 30-0 halftime lead as the Bucs' playoff hopes rise and New Orleans' freefalls. Ronde Barber picks off Aaron Brooks 3 times, setting up 2 scores and returning the last for a TD to put the exclamation point on the rout.

Aaron Stecker's 86-yard return of the opening kickoff sets up a 14-yard TD pass from Brad Johnson to Karl Williams, and Mike Alstott adds a 1-yard TD run after Barber's INT on the ensuing possession. Alstott rushes for 101 yards, with 71 coming after contact. Johnson throws for 207 yards and 3 TDs.
