LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 00 Oakland Raiders 45
Tampa Bay's franchise record six consecutive wins came to a screeching halt, as the Oakland Raiders trounced the Buccaneers 45–0.
The Buccaneers were held to under 30 yards rushing, while Shaun King suffered mightily. The Raiders intercepted King once, returned a King fumble for a touchdown, sacked King four times, and took a 21–0 lead into halftime. In the third quarter, coach Tony Dungy pulled his starters from the game, and rested them for the upcoming games.
