Steve Young became the 13th Buc QB to start a game for the franchise, but the first to win his first start. The Lions had a 10 point lead late in the game, but James Wilder's TD run and Donald Igwebuike's third fieldgoal of the game sent it into overtime.

Twice the Buc defense held the Lions in the extra period, before a short drive led to the game winner with 2:29 remaining. James Wilder went over 1,000 yards rushing for the second time in his career for the Bucs.
