Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27 Los Angeles Rams 31
Sunday 13 October 1985 at Tampa Stadium
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Jim Hill and John Dockery
Two interception TDs, the second by Leroy Irvin with 5:58 to play, sent the
Bucs to their sixth straight loss of the season. The defense, playing
without Hugh Green who had been traded to Miami earlier in the week,
played a good game and recovered three fumbles and had an interception
of its own. But a final DeBerg pick in the fourth quarter meant the Rams
could run out the clock behind Eric Dickerson for the victory.
