The Bucs dominated Washington en route to their fourth win in five weeks. The defense set up Tampa Bay’s first score, as Martin Mayhew’s interception of a Gus Frerotte pass stationed the Bucs at Washington’s 39. The Bucs broke it wide open in the third, scoring on their first two possessions. After a 19-yard Husted chip shot, Mike Alstott powered a 67-yard drive by handling the ball on five of nine plays.
