Rick Stroud reports from Veterans Stadium
This offense still doesn't pass
Sapp's ultimate sack? Selmon's mark
Donovan McNabb got a rude welcome to the NFL as the Bucs sacked him six times and Eagle QBs nine times
over all. "It's always special when you get a new quarterback,'' Sapp said. ``It's new meat, you know.' Trent
threw two touchdowns to ease calls for him to be replaced and another highlight from this game was veteran
kicker Norm Johnson not being ready to run on to the field to kick a fieldgoal at the end of the first half and
getting there just in time to miss a 26-yarder.
