Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24 San Francisco 49ers 23 Sunday 26 October 1980 at Candlestick Park CBS COMMENTARY CREW Frank Gleiber and Jim Hill
Garo Yepremian's 30-yard fieldgoal with 47 seconds remaining gave the Bucs their first-ever win on the West Coast, and a win that would remain as the only such one for another 16 years until Tampa Bay defeated San Diego. The Bucs' final drive was a 16- play, 68-yard effort that included an 11-yard pass from Doug Williams to Ricky Bell on 4th and 9.
