Buccaneers vs. San Diego Chargers

LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 13 San Diego Chargers 17

Rick Neuheisel came off the bench to lead the Chargers to three second-half scores.

Partly based on this performance, the Buccaneers later signed Neuheisel as a backup quarterback.

Although many veteran NFL players crossed the picket line during the week, the Buccaneers were one of only six teams to have no players cross.
