The 1985 Green Bay Packers season was their 67th season overall and their 65th in the
National Football League. The team finished with an 8–8 record under second-year head coach
Forrest Gregg, the same record as the previous two seasons.
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.
