When we woke up this morning, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were sitting alone atop the NFC South standings for the first time since Dec. 31, 2007.
Sure, you could point out that they've played only one game. You'd be right. Good for you. You're probably a lot of fun at parties.
Even so, for Bucs fans, this is a moment worth savoring. Wins have been hard to come by for far too long.

There's much more to prove over the next 15 games, but Sunday's 31-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons washes away at least some of the malaise of recent seasons.
