field goal with 41 seconds left culminated a 10-play, 80-yard drive that kept Green Bay on pace for its best start since 1966
and a two-game lead over Minnesota in the NFC Central. Green Bay's winning march featured the passing of David Whitehurst,
who had completions of 21 yards to James Lofton, 12 yards to Aundra Thompson and 18 yards to Steve Odom on fourth down. Green
Bay's defense forced two fumbles and one interception as Tampa Bay was limited to 170 yards on offense (72 rushing, 98 passing).

(10-12-80) Green Bay Packers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers - OT - "After I missed that
field goal, I definitely wanted another chance," Green Bay K Tom Birney said. He got that opportunity, but missed again as
the Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers struggled through a scoreless overtime period and settled for a 14-14 tie. Birney, a
substitute junior high school teacher until the Packers re-signed him last week, missed a 24-yard field goal attempt which
would have won the game in regulation. He got a chance to redeem himself with five seconds to go in the overtime but again
he was off the mark. Packers Coach Bart Starr released kicker Chester Marcol last week saying that an injury had left him
without the ability to get much distance or hang time in his kicks. "I'm not going to second guess myself," said Starr. "Who's
to say anyone else would have made those field goals. We played well, but didn't win," said Starr. "A tie leaves you with
an empty feeling, especially in an overtime." Tampa Coach John McKay said it would be "an understatement of the year to say
we did not play well." - Switches to game 3 mins in as first

(10-02-83) Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Green Bay Packers - Green Bay scores an NFL
Record 49 points in a half to lead 49-7 at the half. Green Bay rolled up over 500 yards of offense and scored in almost every
way possible, run, pass, kick, interception return, fumble return and punt return. The Bucs were playing without three starters
in their defensive secondary, both offensive guards and James Wilder, and did finally score an offensive touchdown late in
the game. The Packers defense was ranked last (28th) in the National Football League at this point. After the game, Tampa
Bay head coach John McKay tore into his team in a 15-second rant after the game. "I was totally disgusted by the football
exhibition of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers," McKay said. "We could do nothing right against one of the great NFL defenses." When
Milwaukee Sentinel reporter Bud Lea, then 54, tried to ask McKay a question, the Tampa Bay coach shouted: "Get the hell away

game either for Jan Stenerud setting an NFL record for most field goals in a career, or for it being Howard Cosell's last
game on Monday Night Football. Bill Capece missed a 35-yard field goal in the fourth quarter and a key extra point. After
the game, John McKay remarked that "Capece is Kaput" and sure enough, he never played again for the Buccaneers. Stenerud tied
the game with 28 seconds left with his third field goal of the game, and the Packers then drove 65 yards on the ground in
overtime to allow the veteran kicker to win it 4:07 into the extra period. (Quality 9.0)

the game itself, in total 18 inches of snow would fall on this day. Temperature at kickoff was 30 degrees with wind from the
north-northeast at 25 miles per hour, gusting to 35 miles per hour. Tampa Bay wore white uniforms, and Steve Young couldn't
even see his receivers at times through the blizzard. The Bucs were out gained 512-65 which makes the final 21 point margin
seem amazingly small. Lynn Dickey completed 22 of 36 passes for 299 yards to his receivers with James Lofton catching six
for 106 yards. Buc quarterback Steve Young, playing in his second NFL game, completed just 8 of 17 passes for 53 yards. The
Bucs would end up with 23 net yards on the day of offense. Less than 20,000 actually made it to the game with over 45,000

cellar dwellers, any hopes of a Tampa Bay victory went out of the window in the first quarter when James Wilder left the game

(7 catches for 143 yards), the Bucs only got on the scoreboard with three minutes left in the game and the result beyond doubt.

It was another one-point game for the Buccaneers, the first time in NFL history any
team had played three of them in a row. Green Bay got a break when the Tampa Bay was 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

completed 17 of 29 passes, including a 14-yard scoring shot to Ron Hall, giving him eight TDs passes against only two interceptions.
Don Majkowski, who has struggled since ending a long contract holdout, threw for 355 yards and one touchdown for Green Bay.
But the interceptions, among six turnovers by the Packers, helped Tampa Bay build a 26-7 lead. - added June 2007
(11-25-90) Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Green Bay Packers - Anthony Dilweg, filling
in for the injured Don Majkowski, threw two touchdown passes as the Green Bay Packers beat Tampa Bay 20-10, sending the Buccaneers
to their sixth straight loss. Green Bay won its third straight and is over the .500 mark for the first time since defeating
the Los Angeles Rams in its season opener behind Dilweg. Tampa Bay has not won since beating the Packers in mid-October, and
not even the return of quarterback Vinny Testaverde could shake the Bucs out of their losing streak. Dilweg, now 2-1 as a
starter this season, got the call Sunday because Majkowski had a bruised shoulder. He also started the first two games this
season after Majkowski ended a 45-day holdout. Dilweg flipped a 2-yard touchdown pass to Michael Haddix on the sixth play
of the third quarter, putting the Packers ahead 14-3. The score came after Tampa Bay's Reggie Cobb fumbled on the Bucs' second
play of the half and Scott Stephen recovered at the Tampa Bay 18. Chris Jacke's 25-yard field goal increased the Green Bay
lead to 17-3 with 4:12 to go in the quarter. Testaverde, benched the previous two weeks because of ineffective play, then
moved the Bucs 75 yards in just seven plays with five pass completions, including an 11-yard touchdown pass to Bruce Hill
with 53 seconds to go in the third quarter. Dilweg then hit Sterling Sharpe with a 30-yard pass and Darrell Thompson broke
loose on a 37-yard run to the Bucs 15. But again the Packers couldn't get a touchdown and Jacke hit another 25-yarder, making
it 20-10 with 11:23 remaining. - added June 2007

the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay lost its third consecutive tough decision under coach Richard Williamson. The Bucs took a 13-5 lead
with 3:59 left when Willie Drewery grabbed a tipped pass from Vinny Testaverde and raced 87 yards for a touchdown. Majkowski,
the object of fan displeasure all afternoon, moved the Packers 76 yards in seven plays, throwing an 8-yard touchdown pass
to Vince Workman with 2:03 left. Majkowski completed five passes for 65 yards and the Buccaneers were assessed a personal

on a 2-yard run, hitting Adrian White at the goal line and spiking the ball in the safety's face after forcing his way into
the end zone. The Bucs' no-huddle offense wasn't the whole story, though. Tampa Bay's defense played well for the second straight
week, limiting the Packers to Chris Jacke's 33-yard field goal. A Santana Dotson sack knocked Don Majkowski out of the game,
so Brett Favre (8 of 14 for 73 yards with 1 INT) saw his first action as the Packers quarterback. Favre's first NFL completion

the uncoverable All-Pro WR Sterling Sharpe. The Green Bay Packers found another way for Sterling Sharpe to attack a defense.
Sharpe caught four touchdown passes in a 37 14 victory over the host Tampa Bay Buccaneers and also lined up at quarterback
for two plays - running for 5 yards on one and completing the only pass he's thrown during his career on the other. Sharpe,
who set a NFL single season record with 108 receptions last year, finished with 10 catches for 147 yards, the 21st 100-yard
game of his career and his third against NFC Central rival Tampa Bay. Brett Favre completed 20 of 35 passes for 268 yards
for Green Bay, which forced three turnovers and held the Bucs to 65 yards total offense in the opening half. Craig Enckson,
benched in the first half with Tampa Bay trailing 14-0, returned late in the third quarter to throw two touchdown passes to
Horace Copeland and help the Bucs avoid being shut out for the second consecutive game. Terrell Buckley and LeRoy Butler each
had interceptions off Enckson in the opening quarter, and Johnny Holland snatched a Steve DeBerg pass and returned it 30 yards
to set up Green Bay's third touchdown. Sharp began that drive at quarterback, lining up in shotgun formation and breaking
up the middle for 5 yards on first down. He threw to Mark Clayton for 1 yard on second down before Favre, who had been watching
from the sideline, returned. The Green Bay quarterback threw 6 yards to Sharpe on third-and-4, and the Packers continued marching
with Sharp gaining 20 yards on a pass from Favre. On second-and-6 from the Tampa Bay 10, Sharpe broke free in the end zone

would force 3 turnovers in the game as well to help the offense. Not all the ex-Packers had a good time at Green Bay's annual
homecoming game. Chris Jacke kicked three field goals as Green Bay routed Tampa Bay 30-3, spoiling the return of ex-Packers

rushing in the first two quarters, Sanders exploded for 200 yards in the second half. And despite yielding 343 total net yards
and allowing the Tampa Bay offense to penetrate into field goal range five times, the Lions' defensive troops escaped by allowing
only three Michael Husted (from 20, 41 and 34 yards) field goals. Trailing 3-0 at half-time, Detroit marched 83 yards on nine

lead to 7-6, but a Dave Krieg (5-of-13 for 99 yards and 1 TD) scoring strike to Herman Moore on the subsequent drive pushed
the Detroit cushion to 14-6 heading into the fourth quarter. Husted's 34-yarder at the beginning of the fourth quarter chopped
Detroit's lead to 14-9. The Lions were forced to punt, but on the ensuing drive, linebacker Tracy Scroggins came up big, sacking
Tampa Bay's Craig Erickson (16-of-23 for 243 yards) on consecutive plays, forcing a punt, which resulted in Sanders and the

and 132 yards and two touchdowns was probably less than his usual performance. It was Sharpe's last game as a Packer, as he
missed the playoffs and had off-season neck surgery in hopes of returning to the playing field, but chose instead to retire
and pursue a career in broadcasting. The victory combined with Chicago's loss to New England assured the Packers of no worse
than the second of three wild-card spots. The victory also kept their hopes of winning the Central Division alive, but those
were extinguished when Minnesota won on Monday night. Brett Favre completed 24 of 36 passes for 291 yards and three TDs (all

first time since 1980. But Errict Rhett, the NFC's third leading rusher, was held to minus 1 yard on 13 carries and the Bucs
lost for the fourth time in five games. Tampa's Trent Dilfer was held without a touchdown pass for the eighth straight game.

halted their slide and thwarted Tampa's equally astonishing ascent with a 21-16 victory, their 22nd straight at Lambeau Field
on Sunday. It wasn't easy. The Packers survived a second-half scare when Trent Dilfer misfired twice to Warrick Dunn from
the Green Bay 42 with less than two minutes left. The Bucs, trying for their first 6-0 start, got one more shot. But with
no timeouts and 38 seconds left, the game ended with Tampa Bay at its 46 after a 4-yard pass to Dunn. Tampa Bay has not had
a winning season in 15 years. Dilfer led the Bucs on scoring drives of 63 and 90 yards following Hardy Nickerson's block of
Ryan Longwell's 47-yard field goal attempt in the third quarter. Sparked by Nickerson's big play, the Buccaneers roared back
from a 21-3 deficit, but couldn't pull off their first win in Green Bay since 1989. Dilfer drove the Buccaneers 63 yards in
seven plays, with Mike Alstott leaping in from the 1 to pull Tampa Bay to 21-10 with three minutes left in the third quarter.

Jim Brown (12,312 yards) to move into fourth place on the NFL's all-time rushing list; Sanders finished the day with 12,513

(12-07-97) Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Green Bay Packers - The Favre Sapp rivalry continues
- This win assured the Packers their 3rd straight Central Division title and a first round bye in the playoffs - The Green
Bay Packers aren't ready to relinquish supremacy in the NFC Central. The defending Super Bowl champions clinched their third
straight division title, as well as a first-round bye in the playoffs, with a 17-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on
Sunday. With the second-place Bucs needing a victory to earn their first playoff berth since 1982, the game was billed as
Tampa Bay's biggest since the franchise appeared in the 1979 NFC title game. The crowd of 73,523 at Houlihan's Stadium was
the largest ever to watch a Bucs home game and saw Brett Favre throw two touchdown passes to become the first quarterback
in NFL history to throw for 30 TDs in four consecutive seasons. Favre, the two-time league MVP, threw 43 yards to Robert Brooks
and 8 yards to Dorsey Levens for scores before leading an 88-yard field goal drive that lasted more than 10 minutes to put
the game out of reach with 6:24 to go. Tampa Bay's offense sputtered all day, but especially after Trent Dilfer sprained his
right ankle late in the first half. The Bucs quarterback was not effective when he returned in the third quarter and eventually
was replaced by Steve Walsh. The Packers, coming off emotional victories over Dallas and Minnesota the previous two weeks,
beat Tampa Bay for the ninth time in 10 meetings. Favre completed 25 of 33 passes for 280 yards and was intercepted once.
Dilfer was 6-of-l 7 for 67 yards and was injured when Reggie White dropped him for a 6-yard loss on one of Green Bay's four
sacks. The Bucs, who outplayed the Packers during a 21-16 loss at Lambeau Field on Oct 5, can still clinch a playoff berth

Bay Buccaneers @ Green Bay Packers - Favre and Sapp really show their "love"
for each other in this game - In a contest more than slightly reminiscent of two earlier regular-season encounters, the resourceful
Packers outlasted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 21-7, in their divisional playoff - the first postseason meeting between the teams.
The Packers, defeating the Bucs for the third time this season in a tightfisted, defensive struggle, had bested Tampa Bay,
21-16, in the Floridians' first visit of the season to Lambeau Field (October 5) and subsequently repeated that success with
17-6 win at Tampa's Houlihan's Stadium December 7. The Green and Gold, holding a 13-0 lead at halftime on this occasion, appeared
in position to put the game away at the start of the third quarter when Antonio Freeman returned the second half kickoff 90
yards for what appeared to be a touchdown, but Darren Sharper drew a 10-yard holding penalty en route and the Packers found
themselves beginning their third period exertions from their own 11-yard line. Favre, undeterred by the "setback," quickly
maneuvered the Green and Gold into scoring position, directing a march that carried them to a first down at the Tampa Bay
25-yard line. On the eighth play of the drive, however, the Bucs' Donnie Abraham put an abrupt end to it, waylaying a Favre
pass at the 6-yard line. The Buccaneers, taking advantage of the contretemps, then drove 94 yards in 8 plays for their only
touchdown of the game, fullback Mike Alstott sweeping left end from 6 yards out for the score, and at 13-7, it briefly was
a new game. Two exchanges later, the Packers decided it was time to settle the issue and they moved 54 yards in 9 plays for
their final TD of the afternoon, Dorsey Levens bolting over left guard from the 2 for the score. QB Brett Favre then provided
one of the afternoon's more titillating moments, scoring a 2-point conversion on a quarterback draw which saw him exuberantly
attempt to "dunk" the football over the crossbar after charging into the end zone. Levens was a key factor in the winning
process, setting a new Packer postseason single-game rushing record, 112 yards in 25 carries, to play a major role in both
controlling and advancing the football. He also caught 4 passes for 29 yards to close out the day with 141 yards of total
offense. Favre, meanwhile, had a productive afternoon despite heavy pressure from the Bucs' defense, weathering 4 sacks to
completed 15 of 28 passes for 190 yards and one touchdown - the 19th postseason TD of his remarkable career. FS Eugene Robinson,
mounting one of his best efforts, paced a miserly defense with 10 tackles (4 solos and 6 assists), fellow S LeRoy Butler and
Keith McKenzie weighing in with key sacks and CB Tyrone Williams and S Mike Prior with interceptions. DT Bob Kuberski also
authored one of the day's biggest plays, knocking snapper Dave Moore back from the line of scrimmage and blocking Michael
Husted's 43-yard field goal attempt, which would have provided the first points of the game. The statistics reflect the tenor
of the contest, the Packers finishing with 289 yards to the Bucs' 263, the visitors with 66 offensive plays to the Green and
Gold's 64. The Packers, however, did manage to emerge with an edge in time of possession, 32 minutes, 3 seconds to the Buccaneers'

himself after sitting out training camp and the preseason, had to be content with 43 hard-earned yards in 18 carries, a 2.4-yard
average, in the face of a tightfisted Tampa Bay defense. Brett Favre closed out a typically productive afternoon with 22 completions
in 33 attempts for 237 yards and 2 touchdowns - the 185th and 186th of his seven-year Packers career - with, for the second
week in a row, no interceptions. Green Bay's defense limited the Buccaneers to 211 net yards and sacked quarterback Trent
Dilfer 6 times for 50 yards in losses, Reggie White posting three, Keith McKenzie two and Santana Dotson one of them. The

the Rams and Detroit Lions to lose. The Lions choked, 23-20, in the Silverdome against the Chicago Bears, but the defending

victory with 14 seconds to play in the game, but instead he sent a 40-yard field goal wide right. The Packers won the overtime

(11-24-02) Green Bay Packers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers - If the Green Bay Packers
have to come back to Tampa Bay later this season, it sure will be a heated game. The Buccaneers intercepted four of Brett
Favre's passes and beat the Packers 21-7 in a meeting Sunday of the teams with the NFL's best records. The superb effort was
overshadowed by an obscenity-laced exchange between Packers coach Mike Sherman and Tampa Bay defensive lineman Warren Sapp
as they walked off the field. Sherman was angry about a block Sapp put on Chad Clifton during Brian Kelly's interception return
in the third quarter that set up the Bucs' go-ahead touchdown. Sherman thought the hit was questionable and felt Sapp made
it worse by standing over Clifton. "I just don't think there's any place in the game for that," Sherman said. "Maybe 1 overreacted
to the hit. But what I saw looked kind of cheap. But who knows?" Clifton, who was not near Kelly, was knocked out of the game
with a right hip injury. Sapp was unapologetic. "I didn't clip him from behind or block him below the waist. I didn't hit
him in the head. I didn't hit the quarterback. I didn't rough anybody," Sapp said. "I didn't pick him up and slam him. What's
the problem here?" Brad Johnson threw two second-half touchdown passes as the Bucs (9-2) improved on their best start ever
and thrust themselves into position to make a run for home-field advantage in the playoffs. Favre was sacked three times and
the Packers (8-3) didn't score after the first quarter. "We realized what was at stake and realized it was another brick in
the road to the Super Bowl that has to come through Tampa," Sapp said.

a broken right thumb and led a 98-yard second-half drive to lift Green Bay. Ahman Green finished the march with a 1-yard run
to help the Packers (5-5) hand the Bucs (4-6) their third straight loss, hurting the defending Super Bowl champions' chances

and a TD. The three-time NFL MVP was intercepted once, but was not sacked — ending Tampa Bay's league-record streak

Williams broke Alan Ameche's NFL record for most yards in his first three NFL games by rushing37 times for 158 yards. Green
Bay's Ryan Longwell missed an extra point for the first time in 157 attempts, and that was the difference as the Packers fell
to 0-3 for the first time since Brett Favre was a sophomore at Southern Mississippi in 1988. The Buccaneers, 3-0 for the first
time since 2000, got two touchdown receptions from Joey Galloway and two interceptions from Will Allen in snappinga 13-game
road losing streak to the Packers. Williams, the first NFL rookie to start his career with three straight 100-yard games,
has 434 yards rushing, besting Ameche's mark of 410 set in 1955 for the Baltimore Colts. - Includes FOX pre-game, commercials,

(09-28-08) Green Bay Packers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Derrick Brooks hasn't
been himself this season. A sore hamstring has seen to that, feeding the perception that the 10-time Pro Bowl linebacker and
Tampa Bay's aging defense are slowing down. Aaron Rodgers will tell you otherwise. Brooks had one of three interceptions off
Green Bay's young quarterback and also forced a fumble that Jermaine Phillips returned 38 yards for a touchdown, helping the
Bucs beat the Packers. Rogers threw for two touchdowns to Greg Jennings, who had six receptions for 109 yards, but was sacked
three times and left the game for one series with a shoulder injury midway through the fourth quarter. The fourth-year pro
returned briefly after Green Bay fell behind 23-21 on Matt Bryant's third field goal of the game. But he was hit from the
blindside as he launched a pass on second down, and the ball was picked off by Gaines Adams with just over two minutes to
go. Earnest Graham put away Tampa Bay's third straight victory with Brian Griese at quarterback, breaking a 47-yard run to
the Packers 1 and then scoring on the next play to make it 30-21. He finished with 111 yards rushing on 20 carries. Matt Flynn
was 2-of-5 for 6 yards on the two possessions he replaced Rodgers. The Packers finished with 181 yards total offense and just
eight first downs - one in the second half, on Rodgers' long TD throw to Jennings. Rodgers had gone 157 pass attempts without
throwing an interception -- the third longest streak in team history -- before tossing the first of his three on Sunday. Griese
posted a passer rating of 36.0 in the victory. The Packers' Charles Woodson returned a pick for a touchdown for the sixth
time in his career and the second time this season. On a good note I was at the Brewers Cubs game this day as the Crew won
its way into the playoffs!

(11-08-09) Green Bay Packers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Josh Freeman got the Buccaneers
and first-year head coach Raheem Morris their first win in his first NFL start by throwing three touchdown passes. Freeman
threw for 205 yards on 14-of-31 pass attempts with an interception. Derrick Ward was the recipient of his first career TD
pass in the opening quarter for Tampa Bay, whose defense notched six sacks and three interceptions of Aaron Rodgers. The Packers
quarterback threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns on 17-of-35 efficiency, but was again let down by his offensive line. Green
Bay, which has dropped two in a row, came in allowing the most sacks in the league. Ryan Grant rushed for 96 yards and a TD
on 21 carries while Donald Driver and James Jones both caught TD passes - Includes NFC Playbook, FOX Pregame, Halftime,
