Sunday December 13, 1992 - Home Game

LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 07 Atlanta Falcons 35

Sam Wyche and Jerry Glanville had been feuding for years when they played with the Bengals and Oilers respectively and Sam had once run up 61 points on Houston in one game. This was pay back time and Atlanta ran it up in the fourth quarter by throwing to the new cornerback Deion Sanders making his first pro touchdown reception, and then Solomon, released by the Buccaneers late in preseason after refusing a contract offer, had seven tackles and a 10-yard sack of Vinny Testaverde. Solomon convinced Glanville to let him play running back in the game's waning minutes and responded with a 12-yard jaunt that ended in front of the Bucs' bench.  An historicly bizarre game with a bizarre ending.
