GAME HIGHLIGHTS Click on the boxes below to view the big plays Cecil Johnson had a sack on this blitz from the blind side Mike Washington had the one Buccaneer interception on the day Gary Huff and Ricky Bell hooked up for this play into Packer territory
Another home game, another shutout. The defense held the Packers to just 218 yards and 14 first downs, but both these numbers eclipsed the Bucs' totals. Randy Hedberg had another forgettable performance in relief of Gary Huff, two of his five completions going to the guys in the white shirts not orange. The Bucs were 4.5 point underdogs in this game but failed to cover the spread for the second straight week. LB turned TE Dana Nafziger led the Bucs in receiving.
