Trent Diler had his worst day of the season, throwing three interceptions and passing for just 82 yards as the Oilers controlled the ball for over 41 minutes in the Bucs' final trip to the Astrodome. Only some resolute red zone defense kept the score respectable by holding Houston to four Al Del Greco fieldgoals and a single Marion Butts TD.
