Buccaneers vs. San Diego Chargers

LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 San Diego Chargers 41

The Buccaneers sails never caught a draft in this massacre with seven turnovers.

Quarterback Vinny Testaverde was benched with turf-toe and Chris Chandler didn't exactly energize the stadium. The game was the second loss in a row that would eventually become a six-game losing streak after the Buccaneers 4-2 start to the season.

The last three Charger touchdowns all came on drives of less than 35 yards thanks to the Buccaneers defensive squad generosity.
