The Bucs were 0-14 the year before (only played 14 game seasons back then). They were 0-12 this year (1977) and even though the scores were always close with their top ten defense they were still losing games 10-0. Would the Bucs win a game this year with only two games left; at New Orleans and home vs the powerful offense of Don Coryell's St. Louis Cardinals?
Super Bowl winning coach Hank Stram was fired a few days after this game. Losing to the Bucs was just too much to overcome. Tampa International Airport was a madhouse that night as Bucs fans close to 10000 showed up to cheer for the home team to celebrate their victory 33-14. It wasnt even close. The Bucs scored 3 touchdowns on Interception returns a record since still unbroken but tied in our SuperBowl victory.
