Third Quarter
15:00: Raiders receive kickoff; start at own 27
Drive: 4 plays, 8 yards
Highlights: Three and out to start the second half -- not exactly the start the Raiders needed. Rich Gannon's third-down pass to Marcus Knight incomplete as drive fizzles. Penalty on punt pins Bucs back after fair catch.

	Keenan McCardell celebrated one of his two touchdowns.

13:22: Bucs' ball on own 11 after punt
Drive: 14 plays, 89 yards.
Scoring play: Keenan McCardell: 11-yard pass from Brad Johnson (Martin Gramatica kick)
Highlights: Raiders needed a stop. Instead, Bucs go 89 yards and take nearly eight minutes off the clock to score again, with McCardell going in for the second time in the game. Johnson completed a pair of key third-down passes (one to Keyshawn Johnson, the other to Joe Jurevicius). Jurevicius also caught a 33-yard pass to move the Bucs to the Raiders' 14.
Score: Tampa Bay 27, Oakland 3 (5:30 left in third quarter)

5:21: Raiders receive kickoff; start at own 32
Drive: 2 plays, 8 yards
Scoring play: Dwight Smith: 44-yard interception return (Gramatica kick)
Highlights: Gannon tries to find Jerry Rice, who still doesn't have a catch in the game. Instead, Smith cuts in front of Rice and returns the pick all the way untouched.
Score: Tampa Bay 34, Oakland 3 (4:47 left in third quarter)

4:41: Raiders receive kickoff; start at own 18
Drive: 10 plays, 82 yards
Scoring play: Jerry Porter: 39-yard touchdown pass from Gannon (two-point conversion failed)
Highlights: Raiders finally record a third-down conversion (25-yard pass to TE Doug Jolley) and get some more help with a third-down pass interference penalty. It pays off after Oakland challenges initial ruling of incomplete pass on Porter's touchdown catch. Referee Bill Carollo overrules call, allowing score.
Score: Tampa Bay 34, Oakland 9 (2:22 left in third quarter)

2:06: Bucs receive kickoff; start at own 31

Current MVP: The Tampa Bay secondary -- they've been great. Not just the interceptions, as a whole, they have kept the Raiders receivers from getting in this game. They got the one touchdown pass but that was down the field, but they're not getting any run after the catch. Everyone talks about how great the Raiders receivers are after the catch, but the Bucs secondary has shut them down. Now, they can play a little softer and safer, but to this point, they've absolutely unloaded on the Raiders receivers today. Remember I mentioned to keep an eye on both teams' No. 3 receivers. Jurevicius is as good a receiver as there's been on the field so far.

Surprise: Besides when Al Michaels mentioned my name at the start of the quarter? But I'm shocked that the Bucs secondary is able to limit the Raiders No. 1 passing offense in the league. Tim Brown and Jerry Rice have been kept out of this game. I would have expected Brown and Rice to be far more effective.

Looking ahead: I don't want to see Tampa Bay get too conservative.

Fourth Quarter
Drive: 6 plays, 2 yards
Scoring play: Eric Johnson: 13-yard return of blocked punt (two-point conversion failed)
Highlights: Even this early, Bucs seem content to run out clock. But Tim Johnson blocks Tom Tupa's punt and Johnson returns it for the score.
Score: Tampa Bay 34, Oakland 15 (14:16 left in fourth quarter)

14:10: Bucs receive kickoff; start at own 24
Drive: 10 plays, 58 yards
Highlights: Raiders self-destruct with penalties to take some precious time off the clock. On 3rd-and-8 near midfield, Chris Cooper jumps offsides, and on next play Charles Woodson is called for pass interference. Bucs get as far as the Raiders' 11, but Tupa can't handle a relatively good snap, and Gramatica is forced to fall on the ball.

	Rich Gannon threw for 272 yards, but was picked off five times and sacked five times.

9:02: Raiders receive ball after failed field goal; start at own 22
Drive: 8 plays, 78 yards
Scoring play: Rice: 48-yard touchdown pass from Gannon (two-point conversion failed)
Highlights: Raiders finally spring Rice for touchdown pass. It's Rice's eighth touchdown catch in a Super Bowl. Gannon threw on all nine plays of the drive, completing six. Oakland's Jerry Porter appeared to be forced out of bounds on two-point conversion, but force-out call couldn't be reviewed. Raiders challenged anyway, burning a timeout.
Score: Tampa Bay 34, Oakland 21 (6:14 left in fourth quarter)

6:06: Bucs receive kickoff; start at own 20
Drive: 7 plays, 15 yards
Highlights: On 3rd-and-7 at own 23, Johnson hits Mike Alstott for 9 yards and first down, allowing Bucs to burn additional time off the clock. On 3rd-and-9 at own 33, Michael Pittman held for 2-yard gain. Bucs forced to punt with 2:56 left.

2:44: Raiders receive punt; start at own 26
Drive: 4 plays, 3 yards
Scoring play: Derrick Brooks: 45-yard interception return (Gramatica kick)
Highlights: Raiders, needing two scores, hit Rice for 11 yards on first play, but Warren Sapp sacked Gannon on second down and Brooks intercepted Gannon on third down and ran it back to end zone -- just as he'd done three times during regular season. It's the fourth time Gannon has been picked in the game.
Score: Tampa Bay 41, Oakland 21 (1:18 left in fourth quarter)

1:13: Raiders receive kickoff; start at own 27
Drive: 5 plays, 22 yards
Scoring play: Dwight Smith: 51-yard interception return (Gramatica kick)
Highlights: Raiders keep throwing; Gannon gets Oakland to midfield before being picked off for the fifth time. Smith gets tipped ball and runs untouched down sidelines for third defensive score of the game.
Score: Tampa Bay 48, Oakland 21 (:02 left in fourth quarter)

:00: Raiders receive kickoff; clock runs out on return
Final score: Tampa Bay 48, Oakland 21

MVP: My game MVP is Simeon Rice and the Tampa defense. They beat up the NFL's best offense. They just dominated.

Surprise: I'm surprised that it took the Raiders so long to get into this game. It looked like they were finally playing with fire in the fourth quarter. But you can't wait to the point that the clock was going to run out on you. Yes, they battled, but you get no consolation prize in the Super Bowl for playing better in the fourth quarter. On the flip side, I think Gruden is probably a little disappointed his team started to let it slip away. You want to win them all, but you sure as heck don't like to give people the opportunity to say that if there had been another quarter, things may have been different. I expected Tampa Bay to have killer instinct, but I guess it's human nature for them to get comfortable.
