Bucs dedicate win vs. Rams to grieving GM Jason Licht

Bucs GM Jason Licht lost his father Saturday, was given the game ball after Sunday's win.

It was fitting that former Nebraska star Ndamukong Suh was the one to seal the upset road win for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

The day before, the Buccaneers family experienced a crushing loss, as the father of general manager Jason Licht passed away suddenly.

A die-hard Huskers fan, Ron Licht's favorite player in school history was No. 93. 

With little time remaining and the Los Angeles Rams trying to mount a game-tying drive Sunday, Suh scooped up a Shaq Barrett strip-sack and raced to the end zone to punctuate a gigantic win for Tampa Bay, in front of the fans who were his own just a year ago in L.A.

After the game, the Bucs connected with their general manager via FaceTime, awarding him the game ball.

It was an important victory for the Bucs, as they bounce back from a heart-breaking home loss to the New York Giants in Week 3. Sunday's game marked the beginning of a seven-week stretch without a true home game for Tampa Bay, who won't see Raymond James Stadium on game day until they host the Arizona Cardinals on November 10th. 

The team's trip to London to face the Carolina Panthers counts as one of their eight home games this season.

There are many reasons why this win was a big one for the Bucs. But to honor one of their own, it felt that much bigger.
