The Bucs snatched a narrow win over their interstate expansion rivals but only thanks to the gambling nature of
coach Tom Coughlin. On the back of TE Pete Mitchell's monster game, the Jags could have tied the scores with
37 seconds left with an extra point, but Coughlin went for an unsuccessful two-point conversion. Jacksonville
then recovered the onside kick, but Martin Mayhew's interception finally secured what should have been a
much-easier victory than it eventually was.
