A week after it looked like the Bucs had turned the corner, Rodney Peete's TD scramble with 23 seconds left ruined Steve Reeder's holiday and put Ray Perkins' team back into the development stage again. Vinny missed the game through an injury sustained at the end of the Chicago game and back-up Joe Ferguson couldn't even lead the Bucs to over 200 yards in total offense. But the defense must take the blame for allowing the final 76-yard drive in eight plays to allow Peete to win it for the Lions.
