The Tampa Bay Buccaneers came alive Sunday at home, thrashing the Kansas City Chiefs 38-10. Some fans might say, well that was the Chiefs, but a 28-point victory is good no matter who the opponent is.

Coming off a bye week, the Buccaneer offense came to life with Josh Freeman completing 15 of 26 pass attempts for 328 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception. The Buc ground game also came to life with first-round pick Doug Martin recording 76 yards on 13 carries, and LeGarrett Blount recording 58 yards on 7 carries, and scoring a touchdown. Wide receivers Mike Williams and Vincent Jackson had a great day, with Williams catching 4 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown, and Jackson catching 4 balls for 66 yards and 2 scores.

The Buccaneer defense maintained its stellar performance during the 3-game losing streak, and made life miserable for Brady Quinn. The Bucs led 14-3 at halftime, and at the end of the third quarter, they had the game firmly in control with a 21-3 lead. In the fourth quarter, the Bucs added on 17 additional points while holding the Chiefs to one touchdown for the game.

Next up for the Bucs will be a home game against their NFC South Division foe, the New Orleans Saints. The Bucs are now 2-3 and in second place behind the undefeated Atlanta Falcons.
