Abraham picks off attention for himself
It was only Monday Night Football, nothing much for rookie Shaun King to worry about making his first start.
Donnie Abraham gave him the perfect start by picking off a Jeff George slant pass whilst on a corner blitz,
and King threw two second half TDs to give the Bucs their fourth win in a row. "Shaun did a good job of
taking what was available," Tony Dungy said. "He's one of the most composed guys on the team."
