Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions 
WON - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31 Detroit Lions 10
Shaun King passed for 211 yards, one touchdown pass, and had a 6-yard touchdown run, as Tampa Bay beat Detroit at the Silverdome.
This victory made it three in a row for the excited BuccaneersFans, tons of defense and a strong running attack. Even guard Randall McDaniel got in the act catching a touchdown pass on a tackle eligible play for the first time in his 13-year NFL career. "It's been in the playbook since training camp" he explained afterwards.
