The score was 14-7 in favor of the 49ers. It was the start of the second half of play and the Buccaneers found themselves at a crossroads. So Coach Slim called for the field goal to make the score 10-14. Desperate for wins, the Buccaneers faithful booed the decision on the field, than watched to see if the creamsicle warriors would screw up another game.
To the crowds surprise, the FG was a fake! Gary Huff pulled the ball up and threw a laser past coverage and right into the hands of Morris Owens in the endzone. The game was tied, but more importantly it led to 21 unanswered points for the stunning victory against the 49ers. On the ensuing kickoff, 49ers returner Stan Black coughed up the ball inside the 49er 10 yard line and the Bucs recovered.
The next score capped off an unlikely 14 points in 30 seconds. Morris Owens said of the series of plays: I have never seen anything like it, all year we had been the team making those killer mistakes. This time it felt great to be on the good side. The Bucs improve to 2-10 heading into a Lions squad without starting QB Greg Landry.
