In the first quarter, the Storm struck first with kicker Arden Czyzewski getting a 24-yard field goal, while Quarterback Jay Gruden completed a 15-yard touchdown pass to WR/LB Stevie Thomas.

In the second quarter, Detroit managed to get on the board with kicker John Langelog getting a 21-yard field goal, yet the Storm answered with Czyzewski nailing a 47-yard field goal and OL/DL Keith Browner recovering a Drive fumble in their endzone for a touchdown. Detroit would answer with QB Gilbert Renfoe completing a 27-yard touchdown pass to OS George LaFrance, yet Tampa Bay replied with Gruden completing an 18-yard touchdown pass to WR/DB Amod Field. The Drive would managed to get another touchdown as Renfoe completed a two-yard pass to OL/DL James Goode, while the Storm wrapped up the half with Czyzewski kicking a 26-yard field goal.

In the third quarter, with Tampa Bay in command, even back-up QB Bobby Byrd got a touchdown pass in as he completed a nine-yard strike to Browner, while Detroit answered with Renfoe completing a 34-yard touchdown pass to WR/DB Grantis Bell.

In the fourth quarter, the Storm continued on its lead with Gruden completing a seven-yard touchdown pass to WR/LB "Downtown" Eddie Brown. All that was left of the Drive's comeback hopes was FB/LB Tony Burse getting a one-yard touchdown run. Tampa Bay would wrap up the game with FB/LB Les Barley getting a four-yard touchdown run.
