Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19 Philadelphia Eagles 5
Sunday 19 September 1999 at Veterans Stadium
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Sam Rosen and Bill Maas
Donovan McNabb got a rude welcome to the NFL as the Bucs
sacked him six times and Eagle QBs nine times over all. "It's
always special when you get a new quarterback,'' Sapp said.
``It's new meat, you know.' Trent threw two touchdowns to
ease calls for him to be replaced and another highlight from this
game was veteran kicker Norm Johnson not being ready to run
on to the field to kick a fieldgoal at the end of the first half and
getting there just in time to miss a 26-yarder.
