The Bucs began resting many of their starters ahead of the post-season with Luke McCown replacing Jeff
Garcia at half-time whilst the Bucs led 13-6. The defensive showing in the second half was not inspiring
though. "We tried to win today. But I want to go into the playoffs with a healthy team” said Jon Gruden.
