Denver(AP) - Cornerback David Martin picked off a John Reaves sideline pass and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown with 6:34 left to give the Gold a 36-30 win over the Tampa Bay Bandits. Martin's score came just 37 seconds after Denver quarterback Craig Penrose threw a 13 yard touchdown pass to Leonard Harris that tied the score 30-30. Martin then stepped in front of Tampa Bay tight end Marvin Harvey, picked off Reaves' poorly thrown ball and ran untouched into the end zone.
