Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27 Dallas Cowboys 7
Sunday 3 December 2000 at Raymond James Stadium
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Curt Menafee and Brian Baldinger
Warrick Dunn had the second best rushing performance in
team history and could easily have broken James Wilder's 1983
mark of 219 yards with ease, but spent last six minutes letting
back-up Rabih Abdullah takes some snaps. 17 points in the first
quarter put the result beyond doubt early on and then it just
became a matter of how many yards Dunn would finish with.
"It's not the size of the dog, it's the fight that's in him," Warren
Sapp said. "And that guy is something special."
