The Bucs could have clinched the NFC Central with a win, but Rolf Bernischke's fieldgoal with 45 seconds remaining kept the champagne on ice for another week. San Diego's winning drive was a 16-play effort in which Dan Fouts completed a key fourth down pass to Charlie Joiner. James Wilder had two scores, but a fumbled snap on the second extra point prevented the game going to overtime. Theo Bell had his best receiving day as a Buccaneer in this game.
