RECAP: The Bucs ignited the sellout crowd on the first play of their second possession. On first down from the Bucs 26, Brad Johnson looked off several receivers, scrambled and found Keenan McCardell behind linebacker Rob Morris. McCardell caught Johnson's bomb at the Colts 30 and ran untouched for the 74-yard touchdown. McCardell scored again on a bizarre interception-turned-fumble-turned-touchdown, giving the Bucs a 14-0 lead with 4:55 left.
KEY PLAY: Johnson's worst pass resulted in a strange Bucs touchdown. Johnson badly overthrew tight end Ken Dilger and was intercepted by safety Mike Doss. But during the return, center John Wade knocked the ball out of his hands. McCardell scooped up the ball in full stride and returned it 57 yards for the score.
