Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0 Chicago Bears 27
Sunday 20 November 1983 at Tampa Stadium
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Pat Summerall and John Madden
In one of the worst rainstorms to hit Tampa since the 1979 regular
season finale, the Buccaneers were shut out for the second
straight week as the Bears amassed 273 yards on the ground
with two of their backs going over 100 yards in the process. 11
of the normal starters were out of the game injured including Jack
Thompson who missed the game with a sore elbow. The
adverse conditions led to over 20,000 no-shows on the day of the
game and not many of the announced 36,816 crowd were still
present when the game finished.
