This divisional matchup with Tampa Bay would come to be known as the Snow Bowl in Packers' history. 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.
