SCORING GB 8:44-2Q Dickey 1 run (Del Greco kick) GB 2:03-3Q Ellis 35 run (Del Greco kick) GB 5:08-4Q Clark 3 run (Del Greco kick)
The legendary Snow Bowl. This was probably the worst conditions that an NFL game has ever been played in. A foot of snow was on the field at kickoff time and another four inches fell during it. The Bucs were in white and Steve Young couldn't even see his receivers at times through the blizzard. The Bucs were outgained 512-65 which makes the final 21 point margin seem amazingly small. Less than 20,000 actually braved the conditions with over 45,000 no-shows at Lambeau Field.
