Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17 Indianapolis Colts 3
Sunday 22 December 1991 at Tampa Stadium
NBC COMMENTARY CREW Jim Donovan and Beasley Reece
The Bucs finished Richard Williamson's thankfully-brief head
coaching career in Tampa Bay with a win over the equally inept Colts.
Vinny threw three picks but managed to connect with Mark Carrier for
one score, whilst Lawrence Dawsey capped a great rookie season by
scoring on a reverse for another. Broderick Thomas had 13 tackles,
two forced fumbles and two sacks in another monster defensive
performance by the team MVP for the year.
