The Bucs managed to allow seven sacks of Vinny Testaverde but still fought back from an early deficit to within a score in the fourth quarter.
Then a 76-yard, 13-play drive resulted in Herschel Walker's clinching score with 5:40 remaining in the game. James Wilder started his 100th game in this one, the fifth Buc to reach that milestone.
