Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35 Indianapolis Colts 38
Monday 6 October 2003 at Raymond James Stadium
ABC COMMENTARY CREW Al Michaels and John Madden
The biggest Monday Night Football comeback ever. Tony
Dungy returned to Tampa but saw his Colts down by 21 points
with less than five minutes left. And then it all turned round as
an injury-ravaged Buccaneer defense gave up play after play
to allow the Colts to take the game to overtime. Which was
where the Colts missed a fieldgoal only for Simeon Rice to be
called for a leaping penalty and Mike Vanderjagt booted the
second attempt through.
