TAMPA, Fla. – Flags will fly. Cannons will fire. Fireworks will erupt.
The song “A Pirate’s Life for Me,” will play over and over, unable to drown out the noise of nearly 66,000 screaming fans as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-3) take on the New York Giants (3-6) on Monday Night Football at Raymond James Stadium (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN).
If things go to plan, Bucs wide receiver Chris Godwin will find the end zone and look up to see two Army veterans -- Rebecca Stephens, 36, and Carlos Cruz, 46 -- and their canine companions cheering in the stands, relishing a moment and a life they never thought possible if not for the generosity of his family and others.
