Tampa Bay Buccaneers 13 Tennessee Titans 33
Sunday 28 December 2003 at The Coliseum
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Kenny Albert and Brian Baldinger
The 2003 season ended with a whimper and a cast of back-ups
playing for the Buccaneers as they went down to a meek loss in
Tennessee. Brad Johnson threw three inteceptions and even a
brief revival led by Shaun King went nowhere during the fourth
quarter. What had finished so superbly the previous year in San
Diego would end so disappointingly here with many big-name
Bucs including Warren Sapp, playing their final game.
