Buccaneers vs. Chicago Bears

WON - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 06 Chicago Bears 03

Both the Buccaneers and Chicago Bears suffered through offensive futility, in a division game which both teams combined for only 9 points.

Slumping quarterback Trent Dilfer passed for only 121 yards, while fans booed him throughout the afternoon. Twice in the first quarter, Dilfer missed wide-open receivers in the endzone. Martin Gramatica scored two field goals in the first half for Tampa Bay's only points.

With 45 seconds left, Derrick Brooks intercepted third-string quarterback Jim Miller to secure the win.
