Graham 68 run (Bryant kick)
Brian Griese replaced the injured Jeff Garcia behind center but spent most of his day handing the ball off to
Earnest Graham and Warrick Dunn. Graham’s 68-yard scoring run late in the fourth quarter sealed the victory
whilst the defense bounced back with two interceptions and four sacks.
