To clinch their playoff berth, the Bucs came from 23-6 down midway through the fourth quarter, their biggest-ever comeback at the time. Doug Williams passed for 367 yards, with two scores to Jimmie Giles. Bill Capece tied the score with a 40-yard fieldgoal with 26 seconds remaining and after James Wilder rushed 47 yards on the Bucs' first play of overtime, Capece converted a 33- yarder to win it for Tampa Bay. One of the key plays in the game came late in the first quarter when Doug Williams was hit and fumbled but then chased down DT Steve McMichael after a 64- yard return to the Tampa 8. The Buc defense held the the Bears to a fieldgoal which turned out to be decisive in the long run.
