NJLMFL- WILDCARD WEEKEND CONFERENCE QUARTER FINALS

The LA Rams defeated a stingey Tampa Bay Bucs team 28-24 to open the NFC Conference quarterfinals.

This again was a case where the Rams dominated the line of scrimmage but the Bucs had a red hot QB Steve Young who almost pulled out the win for Tampa. The difference in the game was the Bucs could only convert LA turnovers with Field Goals. Giles caught from behind at LA 21 by Pat Thomas on games final play. Bucs almost pulled it out. Great game.
