This really was a wild one. Twice the Bucs trailed by 17 points, but four DeBerg-Giles TD passes, both career highs, brought the Bucs level inside the final minute with the offensively-talented Dolphins.

After an earlier Fuad Reveiz fieldgoal had been partially blocked but still crept over the bar, the game winner came with six seconds to play.

DeBerg threw a Hail Mary on the last play of the game that Kevin House caught at the Miami 23-yard line but time had expired.
