And the postgame quote of the afternoon goes to Bucco Bruce Arians.
When asked about Vita Vea getting a tooth knocked out in the heroic comeback win in Indianapolis, Arians replied, “I don’t care. He’s got 30 other ones.”
Arians went on to say losing a tooth in a football game “ain’t nothing.”
Monster play.

And damn did he deliver in brutally hostile conditions. [read more]
“Here come the Bucs!”
What a ballsy win. [read more]
What a heroic freakin’ comeback win against a sizzling hot team in a sold out, loud-as-hell dome.
It was a “W” that champions are made of. Wow!
The Bucs survived three key in-game injuries to march their record to 8-3
Ya Gotta Believe! [read more]
