The drive: 8 plays, 64 yards, 3:45. Ended with a 32-yard touchdown pass from John David Booty to Bobby Williams. NeiL Rackers made the extra point.
The score: Booty, who started the second half in place of Dan Orlovsky, was hit by a blitzer as he threw but got beauty of a pass off on third-and-12. Williams, streaking down the right sideline, caught the ball over his shoulder a couple yards from the end zone and went in for the score.
The set-up: The drive started at the Houston 36-yard line after a short kickoff from the Bucs. Booty was 2-of-4 for 19 yards before the touchdown pass. That included an 11-yard pass to tight end James Casey and an eight-yard pass to wide receiver Dorin Dickerson. Running back Chris Henry had three carries for 13 yards.
The big play: Booty's 11-yard pass to Casey on third-and-five from the Houston 41. Casey now has a game-high five catches for 50 yards.
