Buccaneers vs. Green Bay Packers

LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 07 Green Bay Packers 21

**HISTORY MARKER** #44 Ivory Sully recorded the first blocked punt in Buccaneers (regular-season) history.

The Green Bay Packers had seven different players each contribute a sack, and Randy Wright's 190 yards passing made him the second player in Packers history to throw for 3,000 yards in a season.

The BuccaneersFan crowd cheered the news that an Indianapolis Colts win moved the Buccaneers into first place for the rights to the first overall draft pick, and pelted Buccaneer players with lemons.

Ron Holmes's sack of Wright was the Buccaneers' first since Oct. 12, and Ivory.

Both teams went to their second-string quarterbacks in the second half, but Steve Young returned to the game after Steve DeBerg suffered a concussion, and Wright was reinserted after the Buccaneers threatened to start a comeback.
