Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 Washington Redskins 16
Sunday 12 September 2004 at FedEx Field
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Cris Collinsworth
The Bucs opened the 2004 season with a poor offensive
display gaining less than 170 yards in total offense and putting
only one long-distance fieldgoal on the board as the defense
came through with the only touchdown. Clinton Portis was the
star of the show on the ground for the Redskins including a
long TD run in the first quarter. The Bucs were tied at 10 going
into the fourth quarter but could mount no serious threat.
