| GAME REPORTS AND COMMENTS |

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!
