Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24 Green Bay Packers 22
Monday 7 December 1998 at Raymond James Stadium
ABC COMMENTARY CREW Al Michaels, Boomer Esiason and Dan Dierdorf
Monday Night football came back to Tampa for the first time in 15
years. And at Raymond James Stadium when Trent completed
his second slant pattern of the night that went over 60 yards for a
score, the sell-out crowd in Tampa went totally bananas. The
Packers did get close at the end, but this was always going to be
the Bucs' night as the Pewter Bandwagon began to pick up
speed.
