Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23 Detroit Lions 20 Sunday 13 November 1988 at The SilverdomeCBS COMMENTARY CREW Verne Lundqvist and Terry Bradshaw
This was a clumsy game between two bad teams but Iggy came good from 52 yards out to win it with ten seconds left. And for all the people watching at the Clearwater Bucs Bunch meeting, it was a memorable win. "You could have sunk a battleship with the excitement when we won" said Bill Thompson afterwards. "It felt pretty good when I hit it" Igwebuike said about his third game-winner of the season. "I don't look to see how far it is - I never worry about the distance."
