Game ball
With Justin Fargas and Darren McFadden both banged up, reserve RB Michael Bush stepped to the forefront and drove Oakland to victory. He scored the go-ahead touchdown with a 67-yard scamper in the fourth quarter and finished with a career-high 177 yards on the ground. His halfback option pass also set up another fourth-quarter score when it led to a Bucs pass interference penalty.
