Favre to Sharpe was repeated four times in Week 6, Young to Rice was repeated four times three weeks later. The 49ers rolled up nearly 450 yards in total offense and although Craig Erickson led an improved Tampa Bay offensive performance, the Bucs never had enough to threaten San Francisco's dominance.
