Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 Chicago Bears 6
Sunday 2 January 2000 at Soldier Field
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Ray Bentley and Ron Pitts
One game for the championship - on the road in Soldier Field.
But these Bears were a pale shadow of the Chicago teams from
the previous decade and Shaun King's TD pass to Dave Moore
midway through the fourth quarter started the celebrations on
the Buccaneer sideline.
