RECAP: Indianapolis scored on its first possession, marching 75 yards in eight plays. Manning completed all five of his passes during the drive (for 77 yards) to set up Ricky Williams' 1-yard TD run. The Bucs scored with just more than five minutes left when cornerback Ronde Barber intercepted Manning and returned it for a TD to make it 35-14. A 90-yard kickoff return by Brad Pyatt started the comeback, and James Mungro scored on a 3-yard run on fourth down. A recovered onside kick with 3:36 left led to another TD, a 28-yard pass to Marvin Harrison on fourth down. The Colts forced overtime after a 52-yard pass to Harrison put the ball at the Bucs 6. Williams scored two plays later from 1 yard out.
KEY PLAY: Manning and Harrison burned Tim Wansley and the Bucs all night. But no play was bigger than the 52-yarder to set up the tying TD.
