| Anyone for volleyball? Tampa Stadium 2 November 1986 The background Leeman Bennett's 1986 Bucs were really bad and only won two games all season, one of which was this encounter against the similarly-bad Buffalo Bills. But in front of a sparse crowd, albeit one including Lee Bromfield, the two teams combined for one of the most amazing plays in NFL history and one that always makes the top bloopers when NFL Films runs a compilation The game situation It is early in the second quarter and the Bucs are leading 10-0 with 2nd and 10 from their own 35-yard line. Steve Young throws over the middle and after three deflections from Buffalo defenders, and one by WR Gerald Carter, James Wilder makes a diving grab for a 16-yard reception. It didn't lead to a score but the Bucs went on to win and the play remains legendary in both Buccaneer and NFL historical archives. Click here for statistics & pictures |
