  Dilfer calls a timeout before the two minute warning with the lead. There is the football IQ that made him so great.

  Not just the debut of the new unis, but also the only August game in Bucs history

  I miss the 90s NFL on FOX, because of the searchlights in the FOX Sports ID.

  As a 49ers fan, this was one of the most traumatic days of my childhood

  The first of 6 seasons of a dominant Buccaneers defense.

  as a niners fan the bucs surprised me this day. great game after this game we were the Young and Riceless, but the best chance we had to get to another super bolw, but the packers stopped that

  Fun little fact nobody is mentioning: this was the first-ever home win for the Bucs against the 49ers

  Everything that led up to Tampa Bay’s SB Title began on this day. The journey to 1/26/2003 began on, of all days, an August.

  I remember the play so well when Warren Sapp twisted Jerry Rice back on that face mask call at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8ApuzKVVWM&amp;t=2490">41:30</a> It was on a reverse and he just caught him up high and pulled back.<br>It tore Jerry&apos;s ACL and caused him to miss most of the season, only to come back later in the year and break his knee cap. He was never as dominant from that point on. &nbsp;With Steve Young also getting roughed up in this game, it really set the Niners back that year.
