He had the huge fourth quarter interception and then gave up his body to defend the last play of the game. -- Darrell Fry

Mike Alstott, Bucs running back

Just when it appeared the Bucs offense had nowhere to go, he found a way to the end zone. The A-Train runs again. -- Gary Shelton

Shelton Quarles, Bucs linebacker

After having a really bad game last week, Quarles responded with a team-record 98-yard interception return for a touchdown. -- Roger Mills

Simeon Rice, Bucs defensive end

With his team trailing 10-7 in the fourth, Rice's one-on-one stop of Antonio Freeman on third down gave the ball back to the Bucs for the winning touchdown drive. -- Rick Stroud
