America’s Game: 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
After coaching the Oakland Raiders to the AFC Championship game in 2000, Jon Gruden was traded by the Raiders to Tampa Bay in the Spring of 2002. In his first season with the Buccaneers he helped coached what was once a winless franchise into Super Bowl champions. Gruden, John Lynch, and Warren Sapp discuss their 2002 season and how Gruden's west-coast attack, combined with a stingy defense, propelled them to a Super Bowl XXXVII victory of his former players from Oakland.
