Quote:<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">Not that this terrible 2-14 Tampa team isn't capable of such a collapse, but there was enough evidence during the game that made it look more suspicious than coincidental, including the pulling of most starters in the second half:

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">» Wide receivers Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans, who each passed 1,000 yards this season, were benched.

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">» Three starters on the offensive line were pulled in favor of a trio that had a combined two years of NFL experience.

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">» LB Lavonte David, whom Bucs coach Lovie Smith has called the best outside linebacker in the NFL, was a healthy second-half scratch.

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);">» Quarterback Josh McCown, who completed 12 of 20 passes in the first half, had only three attempts in the third and fourth quarters.
