| A Hall of Fame big play Tampa Stadium 19 December 1982 The background The Cardiac Kids of 1982 - the Buc team that fought back from 0-3 and 1-4 to make the playoff tournament in that strike-shortened season and gave their fans heart-stopping moments in every single victory. And this was one of the most amazing of all. The Bucs were 2-4 and had to win their last three games to reach the post-season. They had traded scores with the Buffalo Bills all afternoon and now found themselves staring down the barrel of the gun led by future Buc QB Joe Ferguson at the helm of the AFC East team's offense. And then up stepped Lee Roy Selmon with the kind of big play at the crucial moment that all Hall of Fame players seemed to produce during their stellar careers.

Selmon forced Roosevelt Leaks to fumble, Cedric Brown (34) recovered and the Bucs won another one. Click here for all the game details |
