 "at Trans World Dome, St. Louis, Missouri"


The Rams and Buccaneers would slug it out for most of the game, with the Buccaneers defense holding the Rams highly-potent offense in check.Tampa Bay, weak on offense, would only muster two field goals, and gave up a costly safety in the second quarter when a bad snap from center went over the head of rookie quarterback Shaun King and out of the endzone.Despite this, the Buccaneers nursed an unusual 6–5 lead into the 4th Quarter.
