Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6 Indianapolis Colts 24
Sunday 27 December 1987 at the Hoosier Dome
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Jim Lampley and Kenny Stabler
Eric Dickerson had his third 100-yard game against the Bucs, two
of which came for the Rams, and the Colts had the ball for almost
twice the time the Bucs did in the 1987 season finale.
Indianapolis clinched the AFC East title with this win, the Bucs
lost their eighth game in a row. Ex-Buc Mike Prior also had an
interception of a half-back option pass by Steve Bartalo.
