Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0 Dallas Cowboys 38
Sunday 2 January 1982 at Texas Stadium
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Vin Scully and Hank Stram
The Bucs' venture into the 1981 post-season was a short-one as
four sacks, four interceptions and two intentional grounding
penalties meant it was a long and fruitless day for Doug Williams.
The Cowboys rushed for over 200 yards led by Tony Dorsett and
future Buc Ron Springs and the result was never seriously in
doubt. The Bucs did threaten to score late in the game following
a 75-yard pass play from Williams to Jimmie Giles, but Dallas
held on downs to preserve the shutout.
