Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14 Green Bay Packers 14
Sunday 12 October 1980 at Tampa Stadium
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Lindsay Nelson and Hank Stram
The Bucs only ever tie came courtesy of Green Bay kicker Tom
Birney who missed a 24-yard FG with 1:05 remaining in regulation,
and a 36-yarder as time expired in overtime. Lynn Dickey set an
opposition passing record against the Bucs by throwing for 418
yards, three different receivers gaining over 100 yards. But the
interception that he threw to Richard "Batman" Wood proved
decisive as the Bucs' linebacker returned it 55 yards for a score.
