The gamebook and the play-by-play
The defense showed up big-time for this hammering of the Rams although the game was not put away until
two Earnest Graham touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Marc Bulger was harrassed and hassled all day
throwing three interceptions but a Cadillac fumble that stopped a scoring drive left Jon Gruden unhappy.
