The Tampa Bay Buccaneers racked up 521 yards of offense last Sunday in Philadelphia, the second-highest single-game total in franchise history. Wide receiver Vincent Jackson accounted for 56 of it, or about 11% of the total. That was a little more than Adam Humphries, a little less than Mike Evans and a lot less than Doug Martin. Jackson scored a touchdown, but so did five other players, including one defender.

Jackson's impact on the Bucs' offense went far beyond those numbers, however. It is no coincidence that a Tampa Bay offense that had been showing some encouraging signs of life in previous weeks, completely exploded on the day its veteran receiver returned from a three-game injury absence.
