The pain continues for the Tampa Bay Bucs, who entered the National Football League last season and lost all 14 games. Today, their still-standing record losing streak stretches to 26, seven more than any other pro football team has ever lost consecutively. The Bucs are beaten 10-0 at home by the Chicago Bears, who get all their points in the fourth quarter, including Walter Payton's three-yard touchdown run.

However, coach John McKay's troops will end the season on a bit of a high after winning their last two games, 33-14 over the New Orleans Saints and 17-7 over the St. Louis Cardinals.
