The Bucs were on their way to completing a great comeback when James Wilder fumbled at the Houston 21-yard line with 1:18 remaining and the Oilers recovered to preserve a narrow victory. Vinny had his fourth 300- yard game of the season and Mark Carrier set a new Buc receiving record for season yardage with still two games left to play.
