Only Alvin Harper could have got ejected on the play he scored a touchdown on. Thinking he had been ruled out of bounds, he bumped the referee and found himself celebrating his score by being banished to the sidelines. The Bucs held a 14-6 lead that was in doubt to the end as the Redskins had a 22-play drive in the last four minutes that saw them seven times inside the Buc 5- yard line at the end.
