Bucs snap Seattle’s streak
By Jim Cour
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Shaun King final
ly got a chance to show the NFL
what he can do. The league al
ready knew about Warren Sapp.
With King replacing the injured
Trent Dilfer in the second half
and Sapp making life miserable
for Jon Kitna, the Tampa Bay Buc
caneers defeated the Seattle Sea
hawks 16-3 on Sunday.
The Bucs (7-4) won their fourth
in a row, while the Seahawks (8
3) had a five-game winning streak
snapped. Tampa Bay is tied with
Minnesota and Detroit for first
place in the NFC Central. Seattle
had its lead in the AFC West re
duced to two games.
“I wasn’t scared; I wasn’t ner
vous. I was excited,” said King,
who helped lead Tulane to an un
beaten season and a Liberty Bowl
victory last season.
‘‘We just put him in positions
that made him uncomfortable,”
Sapp said of Kitna, who threw a
career-high five interceptions and
lost a fumble. “As long as we
eliminated the big play, we felt
we’d be fine.”
Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren
said he did not consider replacing
Kitna with backup Glenn Foley,
and blamed Seattle’s offensive line
for a lot of Kitna’s troubles.
“The protection wouldn’t have
been any better for Glenn,” Holm
gren said.
Said Kitna: “You can’t go out there
and light the world on fire every
week. This is a tough business.”
King got into his first game be
cause Dilfer broke his right collar
bone on the second play of the
second quarter when he was
sacked by Phillip Daniels.
King is expected to make his
first NFL start next Monday night
at home against Minnesota.
“He knows what he’s doing,”
Dilfer said of King, the 50th player
chosen in the second round of the
draft in April. “He’s very mature
and very mature. His greatest as
set, I guarantee
it, is his confi
dence.”
After Dilfer
was hurt, he
went to the dressing room for X
rays, and he returned to the side
lines in street clothes with his
shoulder in a sling to watch King
throw a 2-yard scoring pass to
Patrick Hape with 2:39 gone in
the final period.
It was the Bucs’ first offensive
touchdown in three weeks.
King said he liked his situation of
being able to sit on the bench and
watch games for awhile instead of
playing right away like Tim Couch
of expansion Cleveland.
“It hasn’t been hard at all since
we’ve been winning,” he said.
“I’ve been able to mature a little
more. I don’t want to be playing
just to be playing,”
Rookie Martin Gramatica
kicked his third field goal of the
game, a 37-yarder, with nine min
utes left for the Bucs. The field
goal came after Sapp sacked Kitna
and then recovered his fumble at
the Seattle 27.
The key to beating the Sea
hawks, the Bucs said, was going
after Kitna, who is in his first sea
son as a starting quarterback. Kit
na was sacked three times for
losses of 27 yards.
“He’s [Kitna’s] been playing
well outside of this game,’’ said
Tampa Bay’s Derrick Brooks, who
had an interception, a sack and
led his team with eight tackles.
“We felt he hadn’t been pressured
and that’s what we did today.”
The Bucs were ahead 6-3 at
halftime on two field goals by
Gramatica, of 42 and 40 yards in
the second quarter.
The Seahawks drove 64 yards
with the opening kickoff to posi
tion Todd Peterson for a 25-yard
field goal that turned out to be
their only points.
King was elevated to Tampa
Bay’s No. 2 quarterback in place
of Eric Zeier after Zeier suffered a
left rib contusion four weeks ago.
Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy
said Zeier, who now becomes
King’s backup, will begin practic
ing again this week.
Notes: Sapp’s sack gave him 10
for the season. He had his best
season with 10 1/2 sacks in 1997,
when the Bucs made the playoffs.
... King said he got a chance to
play in his first college game as a
freshman in 1995 against South
ern Mississippi when the Tulane
starting quarterback broke his col
larbone. At Tulane, he broke the
NCAA record with a passing effi
ciency rating of 183.3. ... Donnie
Abraham of Tampa Bay had his
fourth interception of the season
and third in two games. ... The
Bucs’ five interceptions were one
shy of their club record set in
1977 against New Orleans.
