Sunday, September 11, 1994 - Home Game

WON - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24 Indianapolis Colts 10

With a half-full stadium, the Buccaneers won their home opener in front of just over 36,000 fans.

The spotlight of the victory was Craig Erickson's passing for over 300 yards with three scores, and missing on only five passes all day. The game was the best of his professional career. The Colts did threaten late in the game, but were stopped on downs from inside the Buccaneer 4-yard line with the regulation time ending and Tampa Bay securing the victory.
