| How Horace Copeland replaced Alvin Harper |
| Yes Bucs fans, it's a winning start |
| The defense does the ultimate bend-don't-break |
|
The Bucs opened Sam Wyche's fourth season with a win on the road in Philadelphia thanks to a monster game from Horace Copeland and two TDs from Trent Dilfer. Little did anyone realise that would be half his total number of scoring passes on the season. Making his debut as the Eagles' offensive co-ordinator was a 33-year-old Jon Gruden.
