Bucs coach Raheem Morris will tell you he always has been at his best working hands-on with players. His decision to relieve Jim Bates and take over as the Bucs' defensive coordinator and play-caller has offered him a chance to get back to that. ...more

COWBOYS ...24 RAIDERS ...7 Tony Romo snapped the Dallas Cowboys from their offensive slumber by leading them to a season-high 494 yards, with receiver Miles Austin delivering 145 yards and a touchdown. By winning for the sixth time in seven games, Dallas (8-3) is guaranteed of going into the final month of the season atop the NFC East. Now comes the real challenge: Staying there. The Cowboys are 5-10 in games after Thanksgiving since Romo became the starting quarterback in 2006. Oakland (3-8) and its new starting quarterback, former Buc Bruce Gradkowski, were coming off a victory vs. division-leading Cincinnati just a few days before, but couldn't even cross midfield in the first half. The Raiders' lone highlight was top draft pick Darrius Heyward-Bey making the first touchdown catch of his career. Dallas' defense continued its strong play, with linebacker Anthony Spencer coming up with his first two sacks of the season. Romo went 18 of 29 for 309 yards with two touchdown passes and no turnovers. Tight end Jason Witten not only made his 102nd straight start, but also caught five passes for 107 yards. ...more

For starters Sunday, he looked every bit the rattled rookie. He could barely hold onto the football. He was stripped on sacks, fumbled, bungled. He messed up. Josh Freeman was miserable, and so was the Bucs' offense, save for the now right-footed legend named Connor Barth. ...more

MIAMI – Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris had no clue how a pass intended for Michael Clayton ended up being ruled as an interception. That's mostly because when an NFL official tried to give Morris an explanation, Morris was not in a listening mood. ...more

PACKERS ...17 COWBOYS ...7 Charles Woodson helped Green Bay's defense finally play up to its potential against a big-time opponent, forcing two fumbles and picking off a pass by Tony Romo on the goal line in a victory against Dallas. It wasn't a pretty win for the Packers, but it might have saved their season after back-to-back demoralizing losses. The Packers sacked Romo five times and held him to 251 yards passing in a momentum-killer for the Cowboys, who had won four straight. Dallas also lost starting right tackle Marc Colombo to a broken left leg. Aaron Rodgers scored on a quarterback sneak and threw a touchdown pass to tight end Spencer Havner. Rodgers endured another rough day at the office, taking four sacks and spending much of the day under pressure. ...more
