Moorehead 17 interception return (Kasay kick)
More turnovers, defensive lapses and a blocked punt all added up to defeat in the final home game of the 2004
season. The crowd turned on Jon Gruden and his team just two years after they were on their way to the Super
Bowl as this team was a pale shadow of the one that won it all in Qualcomm Stadium. “I make no excuses. I don't
like where we are," Gruden said. "We've got a long way to go. I'm going to learn from this experience.”
