In the 2000 and 2001 Seasons, the Bucs lost both times in the playoffs to the
Philadelphia Eagles. Things changed in 2002 when the Bucs got rid of old coach
Tony Dungy and acquired former Raiders coach Jon Gruden. The Buccaneers went an
incredible 12-4 in the 2002 season under coach Gruden and made it to the
playoffs with a first round bye. First the Bucs outplayed and outscored the San
Francisco 49ers 31 - 6, and then moved on to face their new rivals, the
Philadelphia Eagles. The Bucs also outplayed and outscored them and won by a
score of 27 - 10. The Buccaneers would be on their way to their first Super
Bowl, a Super Bowl in which they won against the Oakland Raiders, 48 - 21. |
