A game marked by four Jim Everett TD passes and a classic piece of Vinny, throwing an interception for a score on the last play of the first half when already down 21-7. Chris Chandler made his first appearance for the Bucs in relief of Testaverde, but Tampa Bay was held to just 255 yards in total offense and could only muster Gary Anderson's consolation TD run in the second half.
