| Blades' route takes the Bucs to 0-4 |
Rick Mirer, held to just 71 passing yards through the first three-plus quarters, steered the Seahawks on consecutive TD marches of 83 and 61 yards, racking up 138 yards through the air in that span. Hardy Nickerson and Warren Sapp led the defensive charge that resulted in a 10-3 halftime lead for Tampa.
After alternating field goals, the Bucs embarked on an 80-yard TD drive that was unexpectedly kept alive by John Lynch’s 40-yard breakaway run on a fake punt.
