The Bears accused Trueblood of igniting an overtime scuffle last Sunday that resulted in Chicago cornerback Charles Tillman being flagged for a personal foul -- a penalty that led to the Bucs' 27-24 win.

The Bears claimed that Trueblood took swings at Adewale Ogunleye and Tommie Harris while on the ground. Trueblood has accused an unidentified Bears player of grabbing his genitals.

"I'm not trying to be dirty, I'm just trying to play hard," Trueblood said Wednesday.

"It's a thin line, it's a mutual respect line that I try to tiptoe every week. I try to be respectful. I think everyone else tries to be respectful. But every once in awhile, I guess sometimes people's tempers flare."

--Matthew Tryson Bryant, the three-month old son of Bucs' kicker Matt Bryant and his wife, Melissa, was found dead at the couple's home Wednesday morning.

"We had a terrible tragedy this morning," Bucs coach Jon Gruden said, announcing the news following practice. "We lost a key member of our family.

"My understanding was the young man didn't wake up this morning. It's shocking and again, I don't have many more details than that."

Hillsborough Sheriff's deputies responded to the Bryant family's address around 7:30 a.m. in reference to a 3-month-old boy.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said the baby's mother discovered the infant was not breathing as she made the rounds to wake up the kids and get them ready for school.

The death is not considered suspicious, Carter said.

The Bryants have another son, Tre, who will turn 2 on Monday.

"The entire Buccaneer family is deeply saddened by this tragedy," said Bucs general manager Bruce Allen. "The Bryants have been an inspiration to the entire community through their commitment to their family and their exhaustive efforts working with children and those in need in the Bay area. Our thoughts and prayers are with Matt and Melissa during this difficult time."

--DE Gaines Adams is beginning to make more splash plays, like his first career INT return for a touchdown against the Bears.

"If I didn't have the linebackers or the secondary then maybe I wouldn't have been able to make that play," Adams said. "I just have to give credit to all the defensive players. I scored the touchdown, but all of us benefited."

--WR Dexter Jackson will get another chance to return kickoffs against the Packers. Jackson has struggled in the kickoff return game and was replaced at one point last week by WR Michael Clayton. But Gruden says he hasn't lost confidence in Jackson.

BY THE NUMBERS: 67 -- Passes attempted by the Bucs - three short of the NFL record - last week at Chicago without allowing a sack of QB Brian Griese.
