Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 Philadelphia Eagles 20
Sunday 25 October 1981 at Veterans Stadium
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Tom Brookshier and Hank Stram
The NFC champion Eagles gained revenge for their 1979 playoff
defeat by taking advantage of three Buc turnovers in the fourth
quarter to overturn a 10-7 Tampa Bay lead. None of the
Philadelphia scoring drives started in their own territory, and the
strong rushing attack of Wilbert Montgomery allowed the home
side to control the clock.
