The Aftermath

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.”

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.
