CBS COMMENTARY CREW Gil Santos and George Allen
Earl Campbell rushed for a record 203 yards against the Buc
defense but the Oilers only secured victory when the Bucs were
unable to go 82 yards in the final 1:18 to claim an improbable
victory. Houston outgained Tampa 467 yards to 193, but three lost
fumbles kept the Bucs in contention. Cedric Brown's fumble return
came courtesy of Danny Reece who lateraled the ball to the Bucs'
safety who took it back for the score.
