RECAP: Jacksonville's third trip deep into Bucs territory resulted in points. Starting at the Tampa Bay 40 after an interception, it took seven plays, capped by Kyle Brady's 10-yard catch. Tampa Bay's offense finally awoke, moving 56 yards in 11 plays to tie it. Keenan McCardell caught passes of 18 and 9 yards on the drive (his 699th and 700th receptions), the latter giving Tampa Bay a first down at the 5. Thomas Jones scored on the next play. The Bucs took their first lead on a 47-yard field goal by Martin Gramatica, set up by a turnover. Seth Marler's 28-yard field goal with 14 seconds left tied it.
KEY PLAY: Tampa Bay's defense stepped up after the Bucs tied it, recovering a fumble at the Jaguars 39 to set up Gramatica's field goal. Derrick Brooks caused it when he submarined Brady after a short pass. Brady flipped, losing the ball in mid air, and Tim Wansley recovered.
