Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14 Green Bay Packers 27 Sunday 2 December 1984 at Lambeau Field CBS COMMENTARY CREW Jim Hill and John Dockery
Despite the Bucs having a 14-0 lead early in the third quarter, the Packers adapted to the muddy conditions created by pre- game snow and scored four times in the second half to drop the Bucs to 4-10 on the season. James Wilder threw a TD pass on a half-back option and the Bucs picked off three Lynn Dickey passes, but four Tampa Bay fumbles proved too much to overcome.
