Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31 Chicago Bears 17
Sunday 29 November 1998 at Soldier Field
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Kevin Harlan and Jerry Glanville
They had to win to keep their slim post-season hopes alive and
for the first time in nine years, the Bucs left Soldier Field with a
win. Brice Hunter caught the only TD pass of his career on a Hail
Mary pass as the first half expired. "Call it what you want" said
Warren Sapp." But I call it a win and we've got that good feeling
back."
