Historic win for Bucs
This game was as historic as it was dramatic.
Coming back from a 24-3 deficit, the Bucs accomplished the biggest comeback victory in franchise history with their 30-27 overtime win. The only other games that can compare are a pair of 17-point comebacks in 1979 and 1983.
The Bucs defeated Baltimore 29-26 in overtime on Sept. 9, 1979 after trailing 17-0. On Jan. 2, 1983, the Bucs knocked off the Bears 26-23 in overtime after trailing 23-6.
Also today, Jon Gruden becomes the winningest coach in team history (playoffs included) with his 57th victory. Tony Dungy ranks second with 56 and John McKay third with 45.
