his Redskins at 5 and three it's the NFL on Fox late Sunday afternoon action Washington Tampa Bay right now light him up poris big hole Clinton pis to Midfield still going in a big play against this Tampa bate defense he got 31 Brian Kelly eventually on the this season 31 yards poris had the longest last year against Tampa Bay in the back field Booger McFarland brings down Clinton pis a loss of three JB is busy another game break in Los Angeles third down and eight Thank you Pam Blitz coming from the bock brenell fires the pass is picked off by Balden Geron Balden back the other way and there's the turnover that this Tampa Bay team has been looking for for two weeks on second down Sims going to air it out Galloway on the sideline what a pass What A Catch by handing it off and just plowing Straight Ahead which the Bucks do to take the lead allot gets his 64th career touchdown well we know Mike allst tough and we know he can move a pile but I didn't know he was as athletic as this to be able to go up over the pile a nice job of knowing that everybody's going low Mike allar takes the hand off from Sims and goes over the top and a nice job by this offense taking Advance little play action and the flip to coie his first Catch of the Day and Chris's to the 35 the 34 you know what's coming it's a game break in Atlanta reenel Moss what a move got right around Kelly and Santana Moss is inside the 15 to the 12 Simeon rice knocks it away ball is free and it looks like Washington got back on top of it it's Fourth doing what it's supposed to do making plays for the Buccaneers it's 7 to three as Paul knocks it through quter pis another big Run Clinton pis already has a 31 y today here he gets it up to the 45 picked up 19 as Ronde Barber forced him out on the field I think Bill Musgrave their quarterback coach has helped clean a lot of that up second down and eight a hurdle by poris what a day he's having still going Barber tried to knock it out and P is hung on a gain of 16 yds and that was an impressive run by the fourth year player out of Miami might be why he's running the ball so well today second down and 15 and trying to set up a wide receiver screen rice ends up with a ball Balden knocked it to him as Geron Balden makes another big play rice gets it but Balden was out there to make the play and set it up and another turnover by this Washington offense well another quick pass by Mark Brunell and Simeon rice going after the ball after Mark Brunell threw it donon Bal and able to break it up but Simeon wri's great hustle in terms of going back and trying to locate where the ball was thrown and coming away with the interception great hustle great [Music] hands it's about as bad as it gets in the NFL BTS is brought down in the back field by Allen a loss of one and this Tampa Bay deep move backwards third down and nine Corell lost the football again and it's recovered by Dwayne white rice knocked it free white comes up with it and it's first and goal for the Buccaneers as the Redskins turn it over for the third time Simeon rice is having a great great start to this day well he was ready to play when he got here to the stadium and he's done a heck of a job you can see he's getting off the ball a little bit quicker than what Washington is that time Chris kie was the guy responsible for trying to block him and then Dwayne White comes off the edge and he's working against John Jansen on the right side and just does a good job of continuing to play you have to believe the Buccaneers are going to try to drive at home and they do with all St for the second time today he expected him to pick up his game starting today and Simeon rice has done that that's Liddell bets from just outside the five boy what great balance to stay on his feet and give the Redskins a huge return down the sideline still on his feet and in for the touchdown what a kick return by Liddell Betts the first kickoff return for a touchdown this season for Washington there are no Flags 94 yds good be thanks second down and six here Sim steps up and drops it off for allst penalty flag on the play and all gets it to the Washington 45 Michael Pitman is lined up wide to the top of the screen as Sims fires wide open is Galloway the speed the touchdown the [Applause] flex renell steps up and hits a wide openen Chris coie the second leading receiver on this Washington roster picks up nine and a first down for the Redskins Sams literally pushed pis into the belly of Simeon rice wide open as the tight end Kowski and what a time for his second catch of the Year good for 18 snap is high and what a good job by the holder Derek Frost he got it down and Hall got it up and through it's an eight-point game with a minute 36 left in the half oh it back to you all right Pam thank you it's first down and Cadillac Williams is dumped by saliva the ball ball comes out and it looks like Evans ended up on top of it it is an early turnover as saliva came through and smacked Cadillac Williams to turn it over lot like last week for Tampa Bay in the second half when Chris Sims threw the interception for the touchdown they come out here with the first possession and turn the ball over Joe saliva just comes right through the line and puts a big hit on Cadillac Williams and then you've got Evans there recovering the ball and and that's really been the story for Tampa Bay within their running game Oakland's running it up on Denver rather the other way around and brought down by McFarland is pis a loss of one so Denver is Brunell looking for somewhere to go with it hits sers sers is in for the touchdown gets his fifth touchdown catch he had a rushing touchdown against the Eagles last Sunday night and right now it's a two-point game 0 for one on two-point conversions this season pis got it and it's a tie game What A Catch by Clinton pis turnover that they had starting this second half on third down and seven Brunell looking for somewhere to go with it going to try to run for it and make it that was such a big part of his game with the Jaguars he has over 2300 career rushing yards and Screen BS Brooks loss of three you know Derek Brooks has been playing with a hamstring injury and I mentioned earlier last week it just did not look like he was playing at full speed did not have the burst did not make plays that generally he makes but he's got such play recognition you're going to see the job that he does as soon as he recognizes that it's a screen he immediately comes up and makes the play he just Blitz Brunell Moss What A Catch and a first down for Washington inside the 20 down to the 16 yd line and what a throw by Mark Brunell well Brunell passes caught touchdown bets and the Redskins jump out in [Music] [Applause] front Blitz Bucks pick it up and Sims fires passes caught by Hillyard and Ike hilard is out beyond the 45 Trail in this one third down and nine Sims hangs in has a receiver pass is caught Adele Shepard and Shephard is down inside the 10 to the seven I tell you what Joe Washington again they decided to bring some pressure and when you do that you're going to have some one-on-one matchups outside they give him just enough time in order to get the ball off and Adele Shepard who's the third receiver because Michael Clayton is down nobody really knew what to expect of him today he has great speed he runs a good double move Sims fires touchdown Buccaneers hilard third down and four out of the shotgun Brunell that's a first down Brunell backpedaling as he threw it and makes a first down catch good for six and Chris coie he's just one of the coie the catch is made the first down picked up by the Washington Redskins Betts try the right side now cut it back up the middle and right through the heart part of this Buccaneer defense takes it down to the eight first and goal pis bouncing it to the outside and in for the touchdown for Washington his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on the field right now third down and six samim steps into the throw and hits Galloway how impressed do you come away no matter what happens with the final score how impressed would you be with a job that Chris Sims has done today of the threat of him running by people going to let him throw again down the middle Galloway What A Catch overthrown and still hangs on for a one-handed grab a 32 yd completion and only because it was about a yard too deep was it a touchdown yeah and as soon as you start thinking that they're going to run the intermediate routes and then you just send them on a go route and Chris Sims get the ball in his hands but what a heck of a catch by Joey Galloway if he's able to get the ball in his hands in stride this is an easy touchdown but how Galloway is able to run down the middle with no safety looking for him is really hard to believe because this guy's been making these types of plays all season long had a Crossing route and I think that's where John guden was on the ball to go so now fourth and goal they'll go for it Sim steps up has it knocked down and the Redskins will take over a turnover on downs and the Washington Redskins will have it the ball at their own 13 yd line and only 3 and 1/2 minutes left Chris coie right here tight formation on Third and two six for seven on third down this second half and pis did not get it you [Applause] thinking fiveman Rush s steps up and does think and throw down the middle he completes it to Galloway 13 yds and a first down you get that ball up a little bit Galloway may have a chance to run with it after the catch but a good way to start typically the first completion is the hardest to get in a two-minute drill and now the booth is going to review that catch you would have to believe as Bill vinovich blows his whistle you know he had Joey Galloway on the Square end and now you take a look as to whether or not he actually caught the ball from here it looked like he had and that's hard to tell it looked like the ball may be coming loose but as we've talked about throughout the today there's got to be Visual Evidence to suggest that the ball was moving and I don't know that that's going to be be able to be determined so the call what the situation is three man rush for the Redskins on this play and the pass left alone as Shepard and Adele Shepard has a first down for the bucks at the 30 they lead by seven the bucks with a second and 10 no timeouts left trying to go down and tie it this is Shephard ell Shephard touchdown well they bring the linebackers again and because of the pressure and the blitzing nature of Greg Williams now you've got the one-on-one outside with Walt Harris and Adele Shepard Chris Sims has been making great throws all day and he gives his team an opportunity to tie this ball game up by laying it perfectly into the hands of Adele [Applause] Shepard and now movement might back up Matt Bryant as he attempts to tie it [Applause] see who this is [Applause] against well we have watched almost instant maturation on the part of Chris Sims in this game he has been phenomenal he certainly has I mean he has delivered each time they've asked him to in this ball game and you know this is a pressure pack situation for him trying to lead his team back from behind and tie this game up he recognizes the blitz knows what he's got outside and then he delivers a perfect pass there was an offside on that extra point attempt now they're going to call delay a game against the Washington Redskins and they'll penalize it on the kickoff as Matt Bryan will attempt to tie it Bryan has not missed an extra point this season [Applause] and there are flags it looked like Washington came across early they blocked the extra point but let's see if they came across too soon yeah I think they absolutely did Joe offsides defense number 26 half the goal try you see Springs was one and Walt Harris the other and now what now the offense is back on the field as the ball is going to be moved half the distance to the goal line to the one and like dick ver a week ago they're going to go for and I don't agree with this call I don't agree with this call and only because there's still time on the clock and with Washington H with two timeouts they still got to move the football down the field for a field goal I boy this is risky going for two to take the lead they hand to allst allst fights no sign he got in Tampa Bay is up by one literally fought his way in to put the Buccaneers up up by one and I think you got to give it all to Mike allot he got contact well short of the goal line but as we've seen throughout his entire career he he just is able to will himself into the end zone and move people and move bodies great job by Mike allot getting it in they may look at this again now the number one defense of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers goes to work Brunell buys time what a play hits and Chris kolie is to the 40 and Beyond fighting out to the 44 yd [Music] line on fourth down Brunell forced to try and run it the defense tightens up and the Bucks take over McFarland with pressure and Chris Sims is 20 seconds away from an NFL Victory 3635 we'll catch our breath come back and wrap up the afternoon and evening of football here in Tampa Florida as the Bucks get their sixth win of the year one point over the Redskins
