Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions 
WON - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23 Detroit Lions 20
The Lions defense came into Raymond James planning to dominate Tampa Bay's Offense, it didn't go as planned in a stadium filled with Buccaneers Fans.
The play of the game was undoubtedly Gary Anderson's 11-yard rush ending in a leap over three Lions defenders from the four-yard line landing in the endzone for the touchdown. The game winner was John Harvey's touchdown reception with only 4:21 remaining in regulation play.
