Two interception TDs, the second by Leroy Irvin with 5:58 to play, sent the Bucs to their sixth straight loss of
the season. The defense, playing without Hugh Green who had been traded to Miami earlier in the week,
played a good game and recovered three fumbles and had an interception of its own. But a final DeBerg pick
in the fourth quarter meant the Rams could run out the clock behind Eric Dickerson for the victory.
