Buccaneers vs. Washington Redskins

WON - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35 Washington Redskins 13

The devastating loss to the Colts seemed to start a downward trend for the team.

Injuries sidelined several players, including Mike Alstott and Brian Kelly. Before the game, Warren Sapp was involved in his second "skipping" incident in two weeks, and third overall, as he bumped into an NFL referee. The incident drew a $50,000 fine.

Despite the growing trouble, the Buccaneers managed to beat Steve Spurrier's slumping Redskins. Brad Johnson threw four touchdown passes, and Derrick Brooks iced the game with a 44-yard interception return touchdown.
