The Bucs were held to just 169 yards offense in the Metrodome and Craig Erickson was picked off four times as well as being sacked five times in the game. Hardy Nickerson recorded a single-game high 18 tackles and the Buc defense did notch up five sacks of its own, but the offensive woes meant it was an effort in containment rather than potential victory.
