Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23 Atlanta Falcons 6
Sunday 9 December 1984 at Tampa Stadium
CBS COMMENTARY CREW unknown
The Bucs won for only the second time in nine games in the
penultimate game of the season against the injury-ravaged
Falcons. Always nice to beat Mick Luckhurst's team though for
obvious reasons. It was the first time in over three years that the
Bucs had held the opposition to less than ten points (1981 home
win against Green Bay).
