By kickoff, twelves inches of snow had fallen and the roads were impossible to navigate preventing many fans from attending. This gave the game the dubious distinction of having over 36,000 "no-shows", the most in Packers history. The game itself saw the Packers dominate the Buccaneers en route to a 21–0 victory. The Packers offense gained 512 total yards to the Buccaneers' 65. During the game, Packers defensive end Alphonso Carreker sacked Buccaneers quarterback Steve Young a team record four times. === Standings === == Statistics == === Passing === === Receiving === === Rushing === === Defensive === == Awards and records == === Hall of Famers === The following were inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in February 1985; Phil Bengtson, Coach-GM, 1959–1970 Bob Jeter, CB, 1963–1970 Earl "Bud" Svendsen, C-LB, 1937, 1939 == References == Sportsencyclopedia.com Archived December 16, 2007, at the Wayback Machine Football database
