Buccaneers vs. Oakland Raiders

WON - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 Los Angeles Raiders 17

The Buccaneers dominated time of possession, controling the ball for 48:09 to the Raiders' 23:47. the Tampa Bay defense sacked Raiders quarterback Jeff Hostetler four times. But when Ford's kick sailed left, no player had more air pumped out of his lungs than safety Melvin Johnson. It was Johnson's 35-yard pass-interference penalty on James Jett that appeared to have cost the Buccaneers a victory.

Alstott totaled 121 yards rushing and receiving while blocking for tailback Errict Rhett, who rushed for 95 yards on 33 carries. Alstott led the Buccaneers in receiving with eight catches for 67 yards and a touchdown while contributing 10 carries for 54 yards. It was Alstott's catch and run for 20 yards that set up Husted's field goal.

Quarterback Trent Dilfer, finished 20-of-28 passes for 192 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. For three straight weeks, Dilfer had failed in the final two minutes to take his team on a game-winning drive.
