| GAME REPORTS AND COMMENTS |
|---|
| It was always going to be tough to win in Washington to keep the post-season dream alive, but with the Bucs leading 16-7 early in the fourth quarter, it looked on the cards.
Two Cary Blanchard fieldgoals brought the Redskins close, but then Jacquez Green fumbled a kickoff and Stephen Alexander caught the go-ahead score with 5:49 to play. Two late Tampa drives ended in Trent Dilfer interceptions and the Bucs flew home from the nation's capital needing help to make the playoffs. |
| Rick Stroud reports from Jack Kent Cooke Stadium |
| Bottom line - the Bucs must find an offense |
