Matt Bryant’s mailbox should be full this week. By kicking the game-winning 62-yard field goal, he’s due several thank you notes.
The first should come from Derrick Brooks, followed by Juran Bolden, Ryan Nece and Jermaine Phillips. Basically every defensive player that missed a tackle during the Eagles go-ahead touchdown play owes Bryant a debt of gratitude.
“That was an unbelievable sight,†said Phillips of Bryant’s field goal. “That was a load off my shoulders.â€
Most Tampa Bay players had Cheshire cat-like grins on their faces as they walked into the locker room, knowing they had stolen one from the Eagles. Punter and holder Josh Bidwell came bounding down the tunnel yelling out “Way to go Matty,†while Nece thanked a higher power.
“Thank you Lord,†Nece said.
I guess the Big Man deserves a thank you note as well.

i got so sick of the announcers saying mcnabb was carrying the eagles on his shoulders.. he was willing his team to victory......they seem to have forgotten his mistakes put them in the hole!!!! that made bryants fg even more special to me...the look on mcnabbs face as he knelt on the sideline was priceless!!!!GO BUCS!!!

What a finish! A magical kick. Way to go Matt! I am just so miffed at the offensive and defensive play calling at the end though. rushing only FOUR linemen rather than blitzing the QB in an obvious passing situation. Go ahead and let one of the best quaterbacks in the league just throw at will. The man does make mistakes when rushed.
Then Gruden calling for what looked like a hopeful home run play or one big chunk of yardage on the first play of the last drive? Yes, when it comes right down to it. Our Bucs were lucky. I love the win so tonight I will sleep easy (for now anyway).

Now Matt Bryant has almost made up for all the 40 yarders he’s missed over the past two years....
