21 2004 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS GAME 1 REDSKINS 16 BUCS 10 September 12, 2004 FedEx Field (90,098) LANDOVER Washington RB Clinton Portis rushed for 148 yards on 29 carries, including a 64-yard touchdown run on his first carry of the game, as the Redskins defeated Tampa Bay in Head Coach Joe Gibbs return to the NFL. Tampa Bay s defense allowed just 94 total yards in the second half, including only 44 yards on the ground, but the Redskins held on with two fourth-quarter field goals by K John Hall. The Washington defense held Tampa Bay without an offensive touchdown and limited the Buccaneers offense to 169 yards, including just 30 yards on the ground. Following Portis touchdown run on the Redskins first possession, the teams settled into a defensive struggle that would not yield another offensive touchdown for the remainder of the game. Late in the first quarter, QB Brad Johnson was sacked by Redskins S Matt Bowen, who forced a fumble that was recovered by Washington. They converted the turnover into a 10-0 lead as Hall connected on a 20-yard field goal. But Buccaneers WR Frank Murphy returned the ensuing kickoff a career-long 54 yards to the Washington 34-yard line and four plays later K Martin Gramatica drilled a 47-yarder to cut the lead to Washington held the advantage until Bucs CB Ronde Barber picked up a QB Mark Brunell fumble and returned it nine yards for a score with just under five minutes remaining in the third quarter, tying the contest at The teams traded scoreless possessions into the fourth quarter until Redskins LB Antonio Pierce forced Tampa Bay s second turnover of the game, intercepting a Brad Johnson pass to help set up a 30-yard Hall field goal and a advantage. The Buccaneers were unable to move the ball on the their next possession as they were forced to punt following sacks of Johnson on successive plays. Hall s 34-yard field goal with 16 seconds left on the clock sealed the win for Washington.

22 GAME 2 SEAHAWKS 10 BUCS 6 September 19, 2004 Raymond James Stadium (65,089) TAMPA Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck s 27-yard scoring strike to WR Koren Robinson early in the second quarter proved to be the game winner as the Seahawks held on for a 10-6 win in the Bucs home opener dominated by the defenses. Tampa Bay limited Seattle to just 182 total yards and nine first downs while sacking Hasselbeck five times, including two by DT Anthony McFarland, and surrendering just 58 rushing yards. The game was in question until the final moments when backup QB Chris Simms, who had taken over for starting QB Brad Johnson in the second quarter, drove the Bucs deep into Seattle territory before being picked off by S Michael Boulware with just over a minute remaining. Seattle got on the board first as K Josh Brown hit a 44-yard field goal to give the Seahawks a 3-0 advantage in the first quarter. Following a QB Brad Johnson interception, Hasselbeck connected with Robinson two plays later for the game s only touchdown. The Bucs defense dominated the rest of the way, forcing the Seahawks to punt on nine of their final 10 drives while allowing Seattle to enter Tampa Bay territory just once after the touchdown drive. With 10:32 left in the second quarter, Simms entered the contest and led the Buccaneers on their best drive of the day, going 71 yards on 14 plays before the offense was stopped on the Seahawks one-yard line, forcing Tampa Bay to settle for a K Martin Gramatica 24-yard field goal just before intermission. Following a scoreless third quarter, the Buccaneers reduced the Seahawks advantage to 10-6 on a 27-yard field goal by Gramatica with 4:40 remaining to close out the scoring.

Carolina responded early in the second quarter as QB Jake Delhomme found Muhammad from six yards out for his second touchdown catch of the day.

Bucs CB Torrie Cox returned the ensuing kickoff 50 yards, setting up Clayton s second TD of the day. The Bucs drove into Carolina territory on their next drive, but turned the ball over on a fumble by QB Brian Griese. Carolina took the resulting possession and Delhomme hit TE Mike Seidman for his fourth TD pass. The Bucs pulled back within 10 following an eight-play, 78-yard drive that culminated with a Galloway TD catch. Following a Panthers punt late in the fourth quarter and facing a deficit, Tampa Bay took over at its own 11, but Moorehead put the game out of reach with his score.

36 GAME 16 CARDINALS 12 BUCS 7 January 2, 2005 Sun Devil Stadium (31,650) TEMPE Tampa Bay QB Chris Simms interception with just over one minute remaining sealed the Cardinals first victory over the Buccaneers since The Buccaneers defense surrendered just 115 passing yards and kept the Cardinals out of the end zone all afternoon, but K Neil Rackers connected on four-of-six field goal attempts to provide all of Arizona s scoring. Making his second career NFL start, Simms completed 16-of-32 passes for 224 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, finding rookie WR Michael Clayton on a season-long 75-yard scoring pass for Tampa Bay s only scoring of the afternoon. With Arizona holding a 3-0 lead late in the second quarter, Tampa Bay drove deep into Cardinals territory, but Arizona DT Darnell Dockett picked off a Simms pass to set up Rackers 45-yard field goal just before halftime. Following a Rackers missed field goal, Tampa Bay took its only lead of the day at 7-6 on the Simms to Clayton touchdown pass with 1:24 remaining in the third quarter. Arizona regained the lead on its next possession on a Rackers 39-yard field goal. With 8:02 left in the contest, the Bucs went to work inside its own 10-yard line when RB Michael Pittman fumbled, one of two Tampa Bay turnovers inside its own 20 on the day. Arizona capitalized, extending its lead to 12-7 on Rackers fourth field goal of the day. Tampa Bay s comeback hopes were dashed with 1:06 remaining in the contest when Simms was picked off on Tampa Bay s final possession.
