Fighting back from a 17-3 deficit, the Bucs looked much better in the second half and eventually won the game with 10 seconds remaining on a touchdown pass from Josh Freeman to Cadillac Williams. "There's just no give up in these guys,'' middle linebacker Barrett Ruud said of the Bucs, who probably were given up for dead long before halftime by many in the season-low announced crowd of 42,020.
