LeGarrette Blount ran for 120 yards and a pair of touchdowns and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers held on for a wild 38-35 victory over the host Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Aqib Talib had an interception return for a touchdown and a game-clinching pick, helping Tampa Bay (5-2) to its franchise-record fifth straight road win and a share of the NFC South lead.
After Josh Freeman led another one of his signature fourth-quarter comebacks, the Cardinals turned the ball over on their next possession. But Arizona blocked a field goal and took over at its own 48-yard line with 3:13 left.
Derek Anderson, who came on after rookie Max Hall threw two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns, drove the Cardinals (3-4) into the red zone before being intercepted by Talib with 2:10 remaining.
Anderson finished 16 of 24 for 234 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
Larry Fitzgerald scored twice - his first time reaching the end zone since Week 3 - and Steve Breaston had eight catches for a career-high 147 yards for Arizona, which rallied from a 17-point third-quarter deficit.
Freeman finished 18 of 25 for 278 yards and a touchdown. Six of his eight career wins have featured fourth-quarter comebacks, including four this season.
