Tony Dungy's fourth season followed the same pattern as the previous three - a great defense hampered by an ever-decreasing offensive performance. Even so, Martin Gramatica's missed fieldgoal in the season finale at Green Bay cost the team a division title and hence saw them lose in the Wild Card round to the Eagles.
