Three second half drives of 80 yards plus killed off any hopes of a Buc victory in the Metrodome and the game
got totally out of control in the fourth quarter. Tackle-eligible Ron Heller caught a TD on his only Buc career
reception right at the end of the blowout.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS Click on the boxes below to watch the clip
Ron Heller scored on his only NFL reception on a tackle-eligible play
So the only other highlights were Donald Igwebuike’s 55-yard fieldgoal for a career long
And his other fieldgoal was from a more reasonable distance on a disappointing day all round
