Tampa Bay Buccaneers 42 Chicago Bears 35Sunday 8 October 1989 at Tampa StadiumCBS COMMENTARY CREW Dick Stockton and Dan Fouts
One of the best offensive performances in team history and the first time the Bucs had beaten the Bears in 13 attempts. Even a fumbled snap on an extra point didn't matter as holder Chris Mohr ran it in for the point leading to Dick Stockton, the game commentator to declare "they can do no wrong". The entire Buc offense was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week in a unique NFL award.
