Jeff Smith's fourth quarter score dropped the Bucs to 1-8 on the season in spite of James Wilder's first 100- yard rushing performance of the season. Rookie T JD Maarleveld was forced into action against Pro Bowl DE Art Still due to injury, and the three sacks he surrendered all came at the most inopportune moments for the Buc offense. This was also the first game the Bucs played after the controversial midweek release of veterans Kevin House, Jimmie Giles and Ron Springs from the team.
