After struggling to throw the ball deep last season, Josh Freeman has completed 8-of-14 attempts of at least 15 yards downfield this season. This downfield success is due in large part to Vincent Jackson, who has caught six passes of 15-plus yards this season. Since the start of last season, Jackson is the NFL leader in targets over 15 yards with 72 of them. Last week, he was the first Buccaneers wide receiver with 125 yards and a touchdown since Antonio Bryant in Week 16 of the 2008 season.
