Another stifling defensive performance led the Bucs to their fourth straight victory, again one in which the defense recorded themselves a touchdown as Derrick Brooks and Warren Sapp combined for a fourth quarter fumble sack and strip. Michael Vick never had much success against a Tampa defense and he left this one injured during the third quarter allowing back-up Doug Johnson to throw three interceptions. The Bucs offense did just enough once again, the big play coming when the other Johnsons, Brad and Keyshawn, hooked up on a 76-yard passing play during the third quarter to put the Bucs ahead for good.

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS Click on the boxes below for the main plays from the game Keyshawn had a long touchdown pass for the first Tampa Bay touchdown Although Dwight Smith intercepting the fake punt pass was good, he would have been better to let it fall incomplete! Derrick Brooks scored once again, this one from Warren Sapp’s lateral
