Tampa Bay Buccaneers 33 Los Angeles Rams 34
Sunday 25 November 1984 at Tampa Stadium
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Dick Stockton and Hank Stram
Eric Dickerson and the Rams ran all over the Bucs for 299 yards
on the ground with the future Pro Bowler gaining 191 of them
with three scores. For the Bucs, it was the usual DeBerg and
Wilder show and the home side had a 26-17 lead going into the
fourth quarter. In the end, an early missed extra point by Obed
Ariri, and a fumble by DeBerg on the Tampa 34-yard line that set
up the Rams' final fieldgoal proved to be the difference in a
game coached by two ex-USC alumni.
