After moving out to a 20-0 lead for the second straight week, it was nearly deja vu all over again for the Bucs
as they hold off a late rally by the Packers to move to 4-3 on the season. The Green Bay recovery started
when Randy Wright replaced Don Majkowski and drove the home side to two fourth quarter scores. However
Steve DeBerg and Calvin Magee twice connected on third down passes to use up the final 3:45 on the clock
and preserve the Buccaneer victory.
