Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 New Orleans Saints 17
Sunday 10 October 2004 at the Superdome
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Dan Miller and Jason Garrett
The Bucs got themselves their first win of the 2004 season but
had more quarterback issues in the process as Chris Simms
was knocked out injured leaving veteran Brian Griese to come
in and lead the team to victory including a TD pass to Ken
Dilger. Ronde Barber scored on a fumble return and the
defense held Aaron Brooks to just 106 yards passing in spite
of not recording a sack.
