The Bucs got their first win of the season after an 0-5 start against an equally inept Eagle offense. Tampa Bay
trailed 13-0 with five minutes to play, but after Broderick Thomas blocked a punt, Chris Chandler threw the
first of two touchdown passes to win it. Philadelphia, led by the instantly-forgettable Brad Goebel, could only
record 171 yards of total offense.
