| The longest Buc play ever Raymond James Stadium 7 October 2001 The background Of all the long touchdown plays that are part of this countdown, none are longer than Shelton Quarles' interception return that went 98 yards against the Packers in 2001. Derrick Brooks came within a yard of beating it the following year in Baltimore, and it is likely that one day a Buc will score from inside his own endzone for a 100+ yard play. But for now, this is the record and it was shown live in the UK on Sky Sports too. The game situation It was early second quarter in a scoreless game. Brett Favre went left to his TE Bubba Franks but was intercepted at the goal-line by Quarles who returned it 98 yards for a touchdown and the Bucs were on their way to a 14-10 victory.

| The 100 Greatest Plays in Buccaneer history Welcome to the next and best countdown that we have ever run on BUCPOWER.COM. Featuring every one of the 32 years that the Bucs have played NFL football, we have clips of memorable touchdowns, bloopers, decisive moments and trick plays. From the ridiculous to the sublime, this is a countdown to bring back a lot of memories for Buccaneer fans of all ages around the world. Whereas the top 20-30 plays do stand out and are able to be ranked subjectively (and have been by some of the Tampa media), the early plays are generally spread out across the years and can only be placed approximately in terms of their importance. |
