The Bucs won the toss in overtime. Because of the 30-mph wind conditions, coach Ray Perkins elected to kick with the wind instead of the usual procedure of electing to receive.
He never got the ball back as New England drove 56 yards in three minutes to win it on Jason Staurovsky's 27-yard fieldgoal.
"Given the same circumstances, I would make the same decision 100 times out of 100" said the unrepentant coach who was pillored in the press afterwards.
