Rick Stroud reports from Soldier Field
The Bucs' finest hour is painful for Paul Gruber
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.
