Monday Night Football were hoping for a repeat of the great Bucs v Rams match-ups from the previous five
years but this one was disappointing with both teams long past their best. The Bucs gave it away with a
fumbled snap inside the St.Louis 5-yard line leading to a long fumble return score and a late drive ended
inside the Ram 15 when Tim Brown fumbled after catching a pass by an impressive Brian Griese.
