GLENDALE, Ariz. -- There was no way the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could have possibly stumbled as badly as they did in last year's 40-7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, right? There was no way they could possibly deliver another disaster in the desert, two years in a row.
They knew what was coming all week -- that future Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson, who'd been under-utilized by the New Orleans Saints -- would get to the second level with ease if they didn't fit their gaps and tackle well.
