Craig Erickson was back at the helm for the Bucs in the Silverdome but had to watch Barry Sanders have the biggest rushing day ever against Tampa Bay. He had runs of 69, 48, 23 and 17 yards to set up both Detroit touchdowns and again the Bucs could only reply with fieldgoals for the second straight game.
