Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0 Chicago Bears 27 Saturday 14 December 1991 at Soldier Field
SCORING CHI 4:22-1Q Muster 1 run (kick failed) CHI 8:52-2Q Green 2 run (Butler kick) CHI 6:26-3Q Green 1 run (Butler kick) CHI 9:13-4Q Bailey 1 run (Butler kick)
This one was actually on Armed Forces Radio but preferably shouldn’t have been. Vinny was out injured so Jeff Carlson led the Buc offense (their word not ours) to seven first downs and a massive 106 yards of total offense. Four turnovers didn't help either.
