If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers proved one thing Sunday, it’s that they are resilient. Falling behind to the Carolina Panthers on the road, the Bucs never stopped playing hard, and were able to keep their win streak alive with a 27-21 overtime victory.

The Bucs rallied from 17 points down, securing the victory with a 15-yard pass from Josh Freeman to Dallas Clark. Freeman struggled early in the contest and finished the evening completing 25 of 46 pass attempts for 248 yards, 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. His counterpart, Cam Newton, finished with 16-of-29 completions for 252 yards and one touchdown.

Rookie running back Doug Martin reached the 1,000 yard mark, rushing for 138 yards on 24 carries. He still has 6 games remaining in the regular season. The Bucs held a 10-0 lead in the first quarter until Freeman’s pass was intercepted by Captain Munnerlyn, and returned 74 yards for a touchdown. The Panthers ended the half with a 1-yard touchdown run by Jonathan Stewart, and a 14-10 lead.

The score was 21-10 in the fourth quarter before the Bucs scored 17 unanswered points in regulation and overtime to secure the win.

The Bucs have now won four straight games.
