After the Falcons jumped out to a 24-0 lead, Trent threw his first NFL interception and followed it up with two
more in quick succession as both teams played fast and loose with the football. All three Buc quarterbacks
saw time but the result was long decided before third-stringer Casey Weldon got his turn behind center.
