Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7 San Francisco 49ers 24
Sunday 19 October 2003 at 3Com Park
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Curt Menafee and Tim Green
The distance between the site of the Bucs' victory in Super Bowl
XXXVII in San Diego and this loss at 3Com Park is only a few
hundred miles. All of a sudden, though, it seemed as if the team
that won that Super Bowl title and the one that was been asked
to defend it were worlds apart. ``We certainly don't look like the
best team in the league right now,'' Ronde Barber said. ``To tell
you the truth, we look pretty darned average.''
