COMMENTARY CREW
Lindsey Nelson and Paul Hornung
The Bucs set a club record with 235 yards rushing to win this one in Green Bay and also recorded their first three-game
winning streak in franchise history in the process. Both Jerry Eckwood and Ricky Bell were just short of 100-yard
games whilst Lee Roy Selmon led the defense with a pair of sacks.
