The Bucs' first trip north to inter-state rivals Jacksonville was a fruitless one as another big TD run made it two such losses in a row for the 1998 Buccaneers. Fred Taylor's run negated two big scoring strikes to Reidel Anthony and dropped the Bucs to 4-6 on the season. "It was one play, just one play" said defensive co- ordinator Monte Kiffin. "But it was just like last week. Two 70-yarders will kill you."
