Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0 Oakland Raiders 45
Sunday 19 December 1999 at Network Associates Coliseum
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Curt Menafee and Brian Baldinger
This actually remains one of the Bucs' worst losses in franchise
history, right at the end of one of their most successful seasons.
Once they fell behind 24-0 at the start of the third quarter, all the
starters came out of the game to save them for the two remaining
more important games. “We won six in a row and we didn't
disintegrate overnight. We're going to bounce back," Tony Dungy
said.
