| "You go Joe, you go Joe" Veterans Stadium 19 January 2003 The background Anyone honestly think the Bucs were going to win in the cold in Philadelphia? OK, what were you thinking when the Eagles went 7-0 up inside the first minute? And even at 7-3, Buc fans still could not bring themselves to believe they had a chance. And then one play by someone who many thought would not even play the game because of the plight of his baby son, took center stage. We have added Gene Deckerhoff's immortal commentary to the game footage from this clip, one that will live in all Buc fans memories for a long time on the way to Super Bowl XXXVII. The game situation The Bucs trailied 7-3 and faced 3rd & 2 from their own 24-yard line. Brad Johnson hit third receiver Joe Jurevicius over the middle isolated against a linebacker. 71 yards later and the Bucs had 1st and goal and took a lead they would never relinquish on their way to the Super Bowl.
