Buccaneers Not Acting Their Age

TAMPA -- Right there in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers weekly media guide is a statistical analysis that is the marvel of the young Bucs' season. They have been outscored in every quarter this season, but one.

The fourth quarter. Tampa Bay has 63 points, opponents have 29 in the fourth.

Skeptics can point to the schedule. The Bucs have played the offensively-challenged Panthers twice. They have played the similarly offensively-challenged 49ers.

Here is another stat: The Bucs are 4-1 on the road.

Fourth quarter play and success on the road are not the usual byproducts of a young team.
