Steve DeBerg's 346-yard passing was the most given up by the famed 46 defense on the way to the SuperBowl and once again, the Bucs dominated the first half against the Bears just as they had in Week 1 in Soldier Field.
And once again, Chicago came back to win it in the second half, two Walter Payton TDs doing the damage. James Wilder was stopped in his bid for a record seventh straight 100-yard rushing game.
