On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came out swinging against Peyton Manning (pictured) and the Denver Broncos. At halftime, they actually led 10-7, and things were looking good. But after a 21-point third quarter, the game was over for all intent and purpose, and the final score of 31-23 doesn’t really indicate just how lopsided the game really was.

Manning threw for 242 yards and three touchdowns, and gave his team the AFC West title. The Bucs (6-6) still have a chance for a wild-card spot for the playoffs.

Josh Freeman completed 18 of 39 passes for 242 yards, two touchdowns, and 1 interception. Running back Doug Martin rushed for 56 yards on 18 carries, and wide receiver, Mike Williams, finished his day with 6 catches for 93 yards and a touchdown.

The Buccaneer defense didn’t have a bad day overall, but failed to stop the Broncos from driving down the field on two of their second-half scores. The Bucs also were exposed in their defensive backfield with Aqib Talib being traded, and Eric Wright serving a suspension.

With just four games remaining in the regular season, the Bucs will now face the Philadelphia Eagles at home; the New Orleans Saints on the road; the St. Louis Rams at home, and end their season against the 11-1 Atlanta Falcons in Georgia.
