GAME REPORT
Chester Marcol's 48-yard fieldgoal with 41 seconds left put the division leading Packers ahead of the Bucs in a close-fought game. David Whitehurst drove Green Bay into scoring range, hitting Ricky Odom on an 18-yard play on 4th and 10 with 1:25 remaining.

The Bucs only had seven first downs and 170 yards in total offense, nearly a third of which came on a bomb from Doug Williams to Morris Owens to set up Ricky Bell's third-quarter touchdown run.
