Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 San Francisco 49ers 20 Sunday 30 October at Candlestick Park CBS COMMENTARY CREW Tim Ryan and Roy Jefferson
GAME HIGHLIGHTS Click on the boxes below to view the big plays Lee Roy Selmon led the cavalry charge on Jim Plunkett for a first half sack Jeb Blount hooked up with John McKay for a 20-yard gain David Lewis picked off Plunkett to set up Allan Leavitt’s fieldgoal
Jeb Blount made his first start at QB for the Bucs and led a slightly- improved offensive performance, the orange n'white actually reaching 250 yards total offense in the game. Perhaps punter Dave Green was a candidate for QB as he hit Danny Reece on a fake punt at one point. Louis Carter scored the Bucs' third offensive touchdown of the season but the result was decided long before that. It would be another two and a half games before a Buc played crossed the endzone again. The Bucs were 15 point underdogs on the road against the spread.
