COMMENTARY CREW
Dick Stockton and John Madden
The Bucs shook off their two-game losing streak and thanks to Ricky Bell's record-breaking 167 yard rushing
performance, easily handled the Packers at Tampa Stadium. Three interceptions kept Green Bay at bay, the final one
from David Lewis setting up Doug Williams second TD pass of the game, a 2-yarder to Jimmie Giles with 1:56 remaining.
