Reveiz FG43
This really was a wild one. Twice the Bucs trailed by 17 points, but four DeBerg-Giles TD passes, both career
highs, brought the Bucs level inside the final minute with the offensively-talented Dolphins. After an earlier
Fuad Reveiz fieldgoal had been partially blocked but still crept over the bar, the game winner came with six
seconds to play. DeBerg threw a Hail Mary on the last play of the game that Kevin House caught at the Miami
23-yard line but time had expired.
