Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14 New Orleans Saints 17
Sunday 2 November 2003 at Raymond James Stadium
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Curt Menafee and Tim Green
The Bucs came back from 14-0 down midway through the fourth
quarter to tie the score on a pair of Brad Johnson touchdown
passes, the second coming after completing a 4th and 10 to
keep the drive alive. But the defense gave up enough yards to
allow former Buc John Carney to kick the game winning fieldgoal
with eight seconds remaining. Martin Gramatica missed a kick
of his own dropping him to 6 of 12 on the season.
