The Bucs finally won a game in 1985 and did it with only their second shut-out in team history following the
division clincher six years earlier against the Chiefs. Three long fieldgoals by Donald Igwebuike, a career
high receiving day by Jimmie Giles, and a typical workload performance by James Wilder were the offensive
highlights. The defense preserved the shutout by forcing three turrnovers.
