Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17 Washington Redskins 14 Sunday 18 December 1994 at RFK Stadium
SCORING WAS 14:11-2Q Ervins 15 pass from Shuler (Lohmiller kick) TB 9:31-2Q Husted FG42 TB 5:42-2Q Rhett 1 run (Husted kick) WAS 0:32-2Q Ellard 8 pass from Shuler (Lohmiller kick) TB 7:02-4Q Rhett 3 run (Husted kick)
The Bucs hadn't won four games in a row for over a decade, but at RFK Stadium, thanks to the Rhett-Erickson offensive combination, the 1994 Buccaneers achieved this small milestone. Michael Husted missed two fieldgoals that would have made the game safe, but on fourth down from the Tampa 47-yard line, the Bucs stopped the last Redskin threat to beat Washington for the second time in three weeks.
