| GAME REPORT |
|---|
The Bengals wanted to just end the season without getting hurt, the Bucs needed a win, the result was never in doubt. As it turned out, the Cardinals made the post-season in place of the Bucs in spite of this win, but for one fantasy league owner, this game will always have a sour taste. At 28-0 with two TDs already in his collection, why did Mike Alstott need another one with six minutes left in the year? Cost me FFL Bowl VII!
Rick Stroud reports from Riverfront Stadium
Defense is good for nothing
Bucs ride out the suspense
A perfect ending to an imperfect season
