Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 Philadelphia Eagles 20
Sunday 20 October 2002 at Veterans Stadium
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Dick Stockton, Troy Aikman and Cris Collinsworth
The Philadelphia jinx struck again as the Bucs lost for the third
straight season in Veterans Stadium and saw QB Brad
Johnson knocked out of the game with bruised ribs. The Bucs’
offense was held out of the endzone and the only Tampa Bay
score came on yet another Derrick Brooks’ defensive
touchdown, this one coming after Simeon Rice had sacked
Donovan McNabb and forced a fumble. Duce Staley ran over,
around and through the Buccaneer defense all day, racking up
a season-high 152 yards against Monte Kiffin’s vaunted unit.
And the question therefore remained, could the Bucs ever win
in Philadelphia?
