Two defensive minded teams met at Raymond James Stadium and the forecast called for pain. Both defenses were there to dish it out, and boy did they ever. 60 minutes of football and no ball carrier broke the plane at the goal line. The Bucs dominated the first half and had 2 field goals to show for it. New York dominated the second half, but could only muster 4 FG's by
Brad Daluiso. Early in the 4th quarter, with the score tied at 6, Brad Johnson made a huge mistake when he attempted to air it out from his own 11. His intended receiver, Keyshawn Johnson, was doubled and
Michael Barrow was able to intercept on the Buc 29. Kerry Collins was instructed to protect the ball and he
did just that by moving the G-men down to the Buc 4, where their world class defense held tight and NY settled for the tie breaker, a 21 yard Brad Daluiso FG. Johnson's folly struck one more time when with 6:38 remaining on the clock he again tried to force one into Keyshawn, only to have Ryan Phillips pick it off on the Buc 31. Phillips returned it 18 yards down to the Buc 13. Collins could not move his team and 3 plays later
Brad Daluiso kicked a 36 yarder to make it 12-6. New York's defense held tough as Tampa struggled to move the ball. The two Brad Johnson picks were the game breakers.
