Loser: Running Back Charles Sims

Charles Sims had an opportunity to show off this week but he fell flat. With Martin going down early Sims got the bulk of the carries. By bulk I mean nine carries because the Bucs fell behind rather quickly in the second quarter and rush attempts became less necessary. With only 24 yards on the carries he did have I thought he could definitely produce in the pass game. Well, he only had four yards on three catches because the Cardinals have a ferociously quick group of linebackers and safeties that practically eliminated him from the game as soon as he got his opportunity.
