"The Tampa Bay Buccaneers bring out the best in Tony Romo.

He had a career-best five touchdowns and career-best 148.9 passer rating against them in a 38-10 victory on Thanksgiving Day 2006. He threw for three touchdowns and 353 yards in the season opener at Tampa in 2009, a 34-21 victory. On Saturday, Romo passed for 249 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another in a 31-15 victory.

"You just try and play," Romo said when asked about his success against the Bucs. "I don't know that there's any secret to it. It was nice to go out there and play the way we did."

In three career games against Tampa Bay, Romo is 3-0, having completed 61 of 86 passes for 908 yards with 11 touchdowns, no interceptions and a 144.8 passer rating."
