| Tampa Bay | 10:25 1st Quarter | 7:28 1st Quarter | 4 Plays | 29 Yards | Willis 5 yd TD pass to LaFrance |

| Milwaukee | 3:56 2nd Quarter | 0:38 2nd Quarter | 8 Plays | 30 Yards | Savage 3 yd TD run (PAT good) |

Sam Sez: These two are, dare I say, en fuego!

| Tampa Bay | 15:00 3rd Quarter | 12:34 3rd Quarter | 4 Plays | 13 Yards | Thomas fumbles after 14 yard catch |
Sam Sez: This kills much of the momentum the Storm had.

| Tampa Bay | 2:10 3rd Quarter | 1:02 3rd Quarter | 1 Play | 42 Yards | Willis 42 yd TD pass to Samuels |
Sam Sez: Huge offensive boost for the Storm; Samuels is playing like he wants to be the #2 receiver, not #3.
| Milwaukee | 1:02 3rd Quarter | 11:21 4th Quarter | 7 Plays | 48 Yards | Hammel 2 yd TD run (PAT good) |

Sam Sez: This was a really bad time for the offense to sputter.

Sam Sez: What a huge turnaround for the Storm!
| Milwaukee | 6:52 4th Quarter | 5:17 4th Quarter | 2 Plays | 48 Yards | Hammel 42 yd TD pass to Stewart (PAT good) |

| Tampa Bay | 5:17 4th Quarter | 4:15 4th Quarter | 1 Play | 0 Yards | Willis pass tipped, intercepted by Compton, 5 yd TD return |
Sam Sez: Storm suddenly finds itself down 2 scores; this is trouble.
| Tampa Bay | 4:15 4th Quarter | 1:35 4th Quarter | 4 Plays | 7 Yards | Fumbled snap recovered by Savage at Storm 5 yard line. |
Sam Sez: Kiss this one goodbye!
