Shelton Quarles, Bucs linebacker
On a day the defense had trouble making plays, he provided the biggest one with his fourth-quarter interception that led to a touchdown.
-- RICK STROUD
Michael Pittman, Bucs running back
Maligned for most of the season, he broke tackles, made plays and got into the end zone for the first time.
-- ROGER MILLS
Jon Gruden, Bucs coach
The most distinguishing mark about the combative little guy is this: His team doesn't lose games it's not supposed to.
-- GARY SHELTON
