Tampa Bay Buccaneers 13 San Diego Chargers 17
Sunday 11 October 1987 at Tampa Stadium
NBC COMMENTARY CREW Sam Nover and Dave Casper
For the second straight week, the replacement Buc offense did
not play well and this time the defense could not pull the game
out of the fire as the Chargers hung on to win in front of just
23,873 paying customers at Tampa Stadium. Rick Neuheisel
completed 18 of 22 passes to set an accuracy record against the
Bucs that remains to this day. In contrast, Tampa Bay
quarterbacks Mike Hold and John Reaves could complete only
six passes all day, and the Bucs were held to under 200 yards in
total offense.
