Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14 Green Bay Packers 55
Sunday 2 October 1983 at Lambeau Field
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Jack Buck and Hank Stram
A game to forget for Bucs fans. They trailed the Packers 49-7 at
the half, thereby setting an NFL record for the most points
conceeded in league history in a half. Green Bay rolled up over
500 yards of offense and scored in almost every way possible,
run, pass, kick, interception return, fumble return and punt return.
The Bucs were playing without three starters in their defensive
secondary, both offensive guards and James Wilder, and did
finally score an offensive touchdown late in the game.
