Even as Micheal Spurlock broke into the open and turned up the sideline with a clear path to the end zone, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn't be sure one of the most dubious streaks in NFL history was over.
Teammates jumped up and down and urged the former practice squad receiver on, and the roar of the crowd grew louder with each stride. It took 32 seasons and 1,865 tries, but the Bucs finally returned a kickoff for a touchdown Sunday.
"I saw him on the verge of breaking it, he was right in front of me, and I just assumed he would step out of bounds or something would happen," coach Jon Gruden said after Spurlock's 90-yard TD sparked a 37-3 rout of the Atlanta Falcons. "It's almost a snake-bitten play for us."
