TAMPA -- As he does at the beginning of every fourth quarter, Pat Fitzgerald gathered his team near midfield. But for just the third time all year, his team was trailing at that point.

He barked at his team and his players barked back, encouraging each other as they readied for a potential comeback.
As the circle closed in around him, getting smaller and smaller against the vast see of orange populating Raymond James Stadium, Fitzgerald paused and began to pound his chest.
