TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers tookadvantage of some home cooking to snap a two-game losing streak. Earnest Graham led an effective ground attack as the Buccaneersdefeated the Arizona Cardinals, 17-10, on Sunday to move backover .500. Graham rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown on 34 carries,helping Tampa Bay (5-4) improve to 4-1 at home this season. "We felt at halftime we have to run the football and we said,'Earnest, you got to do it,'" Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden said."And do it, he did. He made some great traffic runs, he didn'tfumble, he had a couple of really good receptions. He'sexhausted." The Buccaneers dominated time of possession, holding the ballfor more than 43 minutes. They rushed for 162 yards whileholding Arizona to just 23 yards on the ground. "That's a lot (of minutes), heck, that's the way you have toplay in the NFL," Graham said. "The ground game got in there andtook time off the clock - let the defense stay fresh and youusually get a victory when you do that. "With 43 minutes, it's hard not to win." Tampa Bay's Jeff Garcia completed 18-of-28 passes for 196 yards,including a 37-yard touchdown pass to Joey Galloway that gavethe Buccaneers a 7-3 lead with 5:56 left in the first quarter. "It felt very important just to get our momentum turned around,to get it headed back in a positive direction," Garcia said. "Itwas a tough game, but a grat way to finish off this littlestretch right before the bye." Leading, 10-3, at halftime, Tampa Bay took the first possessionof the second half and drove 64 yards for a touchdown. The bigplay of the drive was Garcia's 28-yard completion to Graham thatset up Graham's 2-yard TD run. The Cardinals (3-5) scored on the game's opening possesion,taking a 3-0 lead on Neil Rackers' 47-yard field goal with 12:17left in the first quarter. After Arizona's initial 59-yard drive, the Cardinals had only 51yards of offense for the next 2 1/2 quarters before driving 80yards in the fourth quarter for their only TD on Edgerrin James'3-yard run. Larry Fitzgerald had four catches for 95 yards for Arizona, butJames was limited to just 15 yards on nine carries. "It goes without saying, very disappointed, especially comingoff a bye wekk that we didn't play better than that," Arizonacoach Ken Whisenhunt said. "We just didn't get it done today." Kurt Warner completed just 10-of-30 passes for 172 yards withtwo interceptions for Arizona. "I'm disgusted, I'm embarrassed," Warner said. "I mean, I'm waytoo good of a football player to be a part of something that wejust did out there on the field. I hope we have a bunch of other guys that feel the same way,because that was ridiculous the way we played offensively." The Cardinals had a possession in the final three minutes with achance to send the contest into overtime, but Warner wasintercepted at the Cardinals' 46-yard line "We made it a little interesting," Gruden said. "I'm verypleased with the way our team stepped up. It's a big win to bein the (division) race."
