TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Alterraun Verner crouched down on the field for several seconds, holding tightly the ball he had just intercepted, as teammates gathered around him. As he made his way to the bench, and the magnitude of the moment set in, tears began to flow.Just 48 hours prior to kickoff, Verners father, Robert, had died suddenly from a heart attack at the age of 61. Robert had flown to Tampa from California to be with his son and his young family on Thanksgiving. Alterraun was not with the team Friday, but vowed to play, saying before the game that he was dedicating the performance to his father.My dad was my biggest fan, said Verner, who finished with an interception and two pass breakups in the Bucs 14-5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He made so many sacrifices for me to get where I am today, and I just know that he wouldnt want to be the cause for me not to play, so thats why I decided to play. I wanted to honor him knowing all that he did to try to get me to where I am today.Verner and several of his teammates huddled up before taking the field and broke with Alterraun! He also wore a shirt underneath his uniform that had a picture of him and his father on it from when he was at UCLA. His wife, Sinae, made it for him.One thing that I wont ever forget about him was his smile, and that was one of my favorite smiles of his, Verner said. Its just to show that hes always with me and hes always going to be with me every game. Every step of the way, off the field or on the field, because of the type of man he was, is what made me into the man I am today.Verner described his dad as the most caring, loving person that you [would] ever know -- one who was willing to take his shirt off and give it to a person that he never knew.Verner, 27, said all his father ever asked of him every game was just to play my hardest.?I could give up three touchdowns or I could get three interceptions, and he would still love me the same, said Verner. So its a blessing on how it happened for us to get the win and everything, but all he ever wanted was for me to play hard, and thats what I did for him.After the national anthem, before kickoff, Verner was told he had been named a captain, along with Kevin Pamphile, who lost his mother during the preseason.It was emotional before the game. It was emotional at the coin flip, said Bucs coach Dirk Koetter.Then came the interception before the half, on a pass intended for Paul Richardson, when the Seahawks were within striking distance at the Tampa Bay 29, and Verner slipped in front of Richardson.Thats a power above me when that kind of stuff happens,?Koetter said.?Said defensive end Noah Spence: I cant even describe it ... for him to make that type of play after what happened to him is just a blessing. We just came together and talked about it, prayed about it. We knew that we were going to come out here and do this for him.Gerald McCoy said it felt like the Atlanta?game last year, after?Kwon Alexander had just lost his brother.That was incredible, McCoy said. You knew [Verner] was hurting, but he played his heart out. Hydro Flask Wit .

Worcestershire 163 (Hogan 4-44) and 150 for 2 (Fell 65*) lead Glamorgan 280 (Bradd 98, Wallace 67*) by 33 runsScorecard Tom Fell and Joe Clarke breathed life back into promotion-chasing Worcestershires victory hopes with an unbroken third wicket stand of 95 against Glamorgan on day two of the Specsavers County Championship clash at New Road.The pair joined forces at 55 for 2 with the home side still 62 runs in arrears after Glamorgan had extended their first innings from an overnight 118 for 5 to 280 all out. Glamorgan may be left to rue dropping Fell on two - a low chance spilled by keeper Mark Wallace off Graham Wagg.Fell went on to complete his second Championship 50 - from 101 deliveries with nine fours - since returning to the side after being given the all clear in his battle against cancer. By the close the 22-year-old was unbeaten on 65 and Clarke 32 with Worcestershire leading by 33.Glamorgan had resumed on 118 for 5 after 15 wickets had gone down on the opening day and a combination of Will Bragg and the lower order earned them a sizeable first innings advantage.Leach made an early breakthrough when Owen Morgan shouldered arms and had his stumps shattered.Bragg, who resumed on 75, moved to within two runs of his third Championship hhundred of the season but then pushed forward to Ed Barnard and was bowled via the inside edge.dddddddddddd He struck 16 fours in his 133 ball innings.Glamorgan were then still two runs in arrears but Wallace, who had opened in the previous seven Championship matches, effectively shepherded the last three wickets in adding 119 runs.Skipper Jacques Rudolphs decision to return to the top of the order led to Wallace moving down to No 9 and he responded by making an unbeaten 67. He struck 10 fours and a six in his 78 ball knock and added 75 for the eighth wicket with Wagg.Leach struck twice in an over to remove Wagg and Michael Hogan before Barnard accounted for Lukas Carey. It completed a fourth five-wicket haul of the season for Leach who returned 5-106 from 22 overs to take his Championship tally to 45 for the campaign.Worcestershire needed a solid start to their reply but Brett DOliveira drove loosely at Wagg and was caught behind.Skipper Daryl Mitchell looked in good touch but after making 33 he pulled a short ball from Carey into the hands of Craig Meschede at mid wicket but then came the Fell-Clarke rescue act.
