Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28 Detroit Lions 10
Sunday 4 October 1981 at Tampa Stadium
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Lindsey Nelson and George Allen
Doug Williams tied his own career-mark with four TD passes as
the Bucs shook off an early Detroit lead to up their season mark to
3-2. The Lions turned the ball over six times, four on
interceptions by Eric Hipple and future Buc Jeff Komlo. Kevin
House caught two of the scores, whilst James Wilder caught the
longest TD pass by a Buc running back for his score.
