Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0 Green Bay Packers 21
Sunday 1 December 1985 at Lambeau Field
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Jim Hill and John Dockery
The legendary Snow Bowl. This was probably the worst conditions that an
NFL game has ever been played in. A foot of snow was on the field at
kickoff time and another four inches fell during it. The Bucs were in white
and Steve Young couldn't even see his receivers at times through the
blizzard. The Bucs were outgained 512-65 which makes the final 21 point
margin seem amazingly small. Less than 20,000 actually braved the
conditions with over 45,000 no-shows at Lambeau Field.
