When Channel 4 went off the air this night, Mick Luckhurst gave the result as 16-13 Bucs and I went to bed a very happy Buc fan. Next morning I read about Joe Montana's 70-yard drive in 10 plays that emulated his similar heroics in the SuperBowl against Cincinnati.
The Buc defense had two interceptions, four sacks and a fumble recovery, but not enough to stop the Pro Bowl- bound Niner QB on his final four-yard scoring run.
