Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17 San Francisco 49ers 24Sunday 18 November 1984 at Candlestick ParkCBS COMMENTARY CREWTom Brookshier and Wayne Walker
The Bucs managed to lose their 10th straight road game in San Francisco and thereby allowed the 49ers to clinch at least a wild-card berth in the post-season. Steve DeBerg marked his return to Candlestick with his first 300-yard passing game of the season, 166 of which went to WR Gerald Carter who had his best NFL performance of his five-year career. But it was the Niners who overcame two first-half fumbles by Wendell Tyler when in scoring position, who came out on top thanks to another precision passing game from Joe Montana.
