Jacke FG47
Another one-point game, the first time in NFL history any team had played three of them in a row. This game
was broadcast on Armed Forces Radio and I remember the signal fading out just before Chris Jacke's winning
fieldgoal. The Packers got an amazing break when the Bucs were called for a dubious penalty on fourth
down that set up the winning kick, one that crept over the crossbar into a strong wind. And the Packers had
lined up in an illegal formation on that fourth down play that didn't get called.
