What an interesting Super Bowl it was in San Diego on the 26th of January, 2003. The Oakland Raiders were playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, coached by Jon Gruden who was coaching Oakland the season before. The Raiders were coached by Gruden’s former assistant, Bill Callahan and were favored to take the title. Then the Bucs defense showed everyone what happens when you underestimate a tough defensive unit as they thumped the Raiders by a score of 48-21.

Lost in all that was the sensational season Gruden got out of the journeyman quarterback Brad Johnson who had completed 62.3 percent of his passes and threw 22 touchdowns to just six interceptions. This season was sandwiched by a season with 13 touchdowns and 11 picks and one with 26 touchdowns and 21 picks. Johnson was good in spurts, and his best moments as a passer were in relief of an injured starter.

Still, Gruden managed to get one really good season out of him and the defense led by defensive tackle Warren Sapp did the rest.
