Many of us remember that golden moment in Buccaneers history when the clock hit zeroes in Super Bowl XXXVII to officially declare Tampa Bay the Super Bowl champions, recording their first championship in team history.
Stories have been written — and some still to this day — on how the Bucs claimed victory. From the defense’s historic performance that night, to the offense’s control throughout the game, and of course, how the victory came against former head coach Jon Gruden’s previous team the Oakland Raiders. But while there are many storylines from that historic day, the bigger picture is how the Buccaneers got there.
