Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 Kansas City Chiefs 19 Sunday 13 September 1981 at Arrowhead CBS COMMENTARY CREW Dick Stockton and Jim Hill
Four Nick Lowery fieldgoals and a touchdown set up by a botched punt proved enough for the Chiefs to take victory. The Bucs were held to just 12 yards rushing on 23 carries, but had an early 10-7 lead thanks to some opportune passing from Doug Williams in the first half.
