Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19 Atlanta Falcons 10
Sunday 21 November 1999 at Raymond James Stadium
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Curt Menafee and Brian Baldinger
Donnie Abraham made Martin Gramatica's four fieldgoals stand
up with an interception return of ex-Buc Chris Chandler in the
final minute. "I just wanted to relax and do what I had to do,"
said Gramatica, who grew up playing soccer in Argentina and
didn't start playing football until he was a senior in high school
in nearby LaBelle, Fla. "I just did my job," he added. "You could
say this was the greatest game of my life, my career."
