GAME 16 Seattle Seahawks 23, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7Sunday, December 31, 2006 — Raymond James StadiumSeattle snapped a three-game losing streak with a 23-7 win at Tampa on New Year’s Eve. The Seahawksjumped out to a quick 10-0 lead in the first quarter thanks to a Josh Brown 35-yard field goal and a 1-yardtouchdown run by Shaun Alexander. Tampa Bay opened the second quarter with Tim Rattay finding JoeyGalloway from 4 yards out, capping an eight-play, 80 yard drive, proving to be Tampa Bay’s only points of thegame. Seattle’s defense was helped by its offense controlling the ball for over 37 minutes and limiting theBucs to just 71 total yards in the second half. Lofa Tatupu also helped the cause by forcing a fumble at theTampa 11 that was recovered by Jimmy Williams in the third quarter. Just before halftime, Matt Hasselbeckfound D.J. Hackett from 5 yards out to give Seattle breathing room entering halftime, 17-7. After Tatupu’sforced fumble, Brown was good from 30 yards in the third quarter and after a Tampa Bay punt, Brown kickedoff the fourth quarter with a 23-yard field goal, for a 23-7 lead. Tampa Bay had one possesion in the fourthquarter, taking the ball all the way to the Seattle 3, but the defense forced three straight incomplete passesto take over on downs. Seattle’s offense ran out the remaining 9:33 on the clock with a 15-play drive, with akey 5-yard running in to the punter penalty on fourth-and-3 to keep the drive alive with 7:12 to go.Seattle 10 7 3 3 — 23Tampa Bay 0 7 0 0 — 7Seattle Tampa BaySEA 1 9:58 Brown 35 field goal (8-44, 3:08) 30SEA 1 2:53 Alexander 1 run (Brown kick) (10-66, 4:34) 10 0TB 2 14:14 Galloway 4 pass from Rattay (Bryant kick) (8-80, 3:39) 10 7SEA 2 0:19 Hackett 5 pass from Hasselbeck (Brown kick) (10-70, 4:18) 17 7SEA 3 10:14 Brown 30 field goal (4-[-2], 1:18) 20 7SEA 4 14:49 Brown 23 field goal (14-65, 8:12) 23 7Att. — 65,660INDIVIDUAL STATISTICSRUSHINGSeattle Att Yds LG TD Tampa Bay Att Yds LG TDAlexander 28 92 10 1 Pittman 12 73 32 0Morris 10 39 9 0 Stovall 2 29 18 0Strong 1 2 2 0 Alstott 6 4 3 0Hasselbeck 3 -1 1 0 Rattay 1 4 4 0TOTAL 42 132 10 1 TOTAL 21 110 32 0PASSINGSeattle A C Yds TD Int RT Tampa Bay A C Yds TD Int RTHasselbeck 29 17 216 1 0 93.5 Rattay 27 16 185 1 0 92.4TOTAL 29 17 216 1 0 93.5 TOTAL 27 16 185 1 0 92.4RECEIVINGSeattle No Yds LG TD Tampa Bay No Yds LG TDHackett 4 63 26 1 Galloway 8 118 44 1Stevens 4 54 26 0 Pittman 3 36 14 0Branch 3 38 16 0 Moore 1 9 9 0Engram 2 27 18 0 Warren 1 9 9 0Alexander 1 14 14 0 Becht 1 5 5 0Morris 1 8 8 0 Stovall 1 4 4 0Strong 1 7 7 0 Hilliard 1 4 4 0Burleson 1 5 5 0TEAM STATISTICSSeattle Tampa BayTotal First Downs 28 15Third Down Eff. 8-14-57% 3-9-33%Total Net Yards 344 287Total Off.
