Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3 New Orleans Saints 9
Sunday 25 October 1998 at the Superdome
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Sam Rosen and Jerry Glanville
What a dreadful exercise in offensive futility. Trent had two TD
passes dropped, Patrick Hape fumbled inside the Saints' 5-yard
line and Michael Husted missed two fieldgoals. "This was a slap
in the face" said guard Jorge Diaz. "It was a reality check."
