Remember watching this one live on Sky Sports? The Bucs began their comeback with a seven-play field goal drive. Donnie Abraham intercepted a Stan Humphries pass and returned it 21 yards to the Charger 13, setting up a Buc field goal. Two plays later, John Lynch redirected another Humphries offering, returning it 25 yards for Errict Rhett’s one-yard go-ahead touchdown dive.
