01:00No Super Bowl winning team fell off harder for longer after that championship, at least
01:09in the 21st century than the Bucs did.
01:14In 2002, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended a quarter century of frustration with their first Super Bowl championship.
01:24It didn't take long for the losing to return.
01:28By the time the Bucs drafted all-pro receiver Mike Evans in 2014, Tampa Bay was in the middle of
01:34a 13-year playoff drought.
01:38We went 2014, my rookie season, and then proceeded to have a losing season.
01:43Every year except 2016, we were 9-7.
01:48We would beat ourselves.
01:51They just put a 50-burger on the Buccaneers like we weren't even here.
01:5456-0.
01:56We would always be the top of the league in penalties.
01:59Our execution down the stretch wasn't the best.
02:02Kick this airborne.
02:03It's long enough.
02:04Long enough.
02:04It is no good.
02:06And the Giants win by one.
02:07We definitely had a lot of talent, though.
02:10Does any linebacker in the league do it better than Volante David?
02:13Snap.
02:13Hand off.
02:14Ronald Jones.
02:14Up the gut.
02:15Three.
02:15Two.
02:15So good.
02:16He has similar stats to Luke Kuechly.
02:19And he just retired and people say he should be in the Hall of Fame.
02:23Maybe, maybe not.
02:25He has a Buccaneers touchdown.
02:28We just could never get over that hump.
02:30I got to thinking, like, will we ever be able to compete for a championship?
02:37Thinking about a championship.
02:39You can't even make the playoffs.
02:43Just, just, like, put, don't put your eggs in one basket.
02:47Like, you, you have to think about making the playoffs first before you think about a championship.
02:562019, the Buccaneers convinced two-time Coach of the Year, Bruce Arians, to come out of retirement
03:01to help get them over that hump.
03:04When I see jerseys pulled, that's a flag.
03:08It tells me you can't play.
03:10He preached and he harped all the time about being disciplined and not getting penalties
03:14and holding each other accountable.
03:16And, you know, all coaches do that.
03:18But, you know, I guess in the way he did it, it's hard to explain.
03:21But, you know, guys bought in.
03:22Hey, Mike, Mike.
03:25Nice job with the stripe, Mike.
03:26He's easy to talk to.
03:28He's going to let you know when you're not doing what you're supposed to do.
03:30And he's going to show you a lot of love.
03:33It's just us beating us, right?
03:34We'll kick their ass, all right?
03:36Hang in there.
03:40The first draft pick of the Arians era was Devin White,
03:43a stud linebacker from Louisiana with a passion for thoroughbreds.
03:50Riding a horse is like riding a bike around here.
03:52Like, that's what you learn to do.
03:53You know, how they go get little bikes.
03:57No, you start off with a horse.
03:58This is my daughter, Daisy Mae.
04:02She's five years old.
04:04Her birthday is coming up in May.
04:07She's a stand-of-bred.
04:09And she's my best friend also.
04:13Growing up, man, being in the hay fields, easy, mama.
04:17Just imagine holding, like, 50-pound bails of hay by strings, you know,
04:21just basically hay strings.
04:24I had a tackle against Curtis Samuel, the Panthers, last year.
04:28I grabbed it with one hand.
04:30Everybody's like, man, how you holding on like that?
04:31I'm like, but my hand's so strong from bails of hay in the summer.
04:34When I'm on the field, you know, I feel that conscious strength come out.
04:41In the spring of 2020, the horse-loving linebacker and the rest of the Buccaneers
04:46had a shot at teaming up with the GOAT.
04:51Talk about country strength.
04:53That is not making that up.
04:57Breaking news on free agency frenzy.
05:00And this is a blockbuster.
05:02As Tom Brady, six-time Super Bowl champion,
05:05tweeting out he is leaving the Patriots
05:09and officially becomes a free agent at 4 p.m. Eastern time tomorrow.
05:14I'm so happy to be in Tampa Bay,
05:16and I wanted to say thank you guys for welcoming me and my family into your community.
05:22We have an incredibly exciting season ahead.
05:25I can't wait.
05:27And let's go Bucs.
05:29The crazy thing that got me is he hit me up like,
05:32hey, like, hey, I'm your teammate, like, you know, you the linebacker,
05:36I'm the quarterback, we need to be in sync.
05:38And that was real crazy because I was, like, in such awe being a fan.
05:42I was ecstatic.
05:43I mean, I didn't, at first it didn't really seem real.
05:46He FaceTimed me.
05:47We talked, and then we started working out shortly after that.
05:52Who doesn't want to play with the greatest player ever?
05:55Good.
05:56Over the course of 2020, veteran stars followed.
06:00Guess who's back?
06:01Including Antonio Brown, LaShawn McCoy,
06:05and Brady's longtime Patriots teammate, Rob Gronkowski.
06:10Everybody that was a free agent, you know, that could make their own decision,
06:15I feel like Temple was always going to be at the top of their list
06:18as long as Tom Brady got, because you know Tom Brady's not going to really be on a losing team.
06:23One unexpected player on the market was running back Leonard Fournette,
06:27a former fourth overall pick,
06:30whose rocky relationship with the Jaguars came to a head days before the 2020 season.
06:36The Jaguars have decided to release their running back, Leonard Fournette.
06:41He did have some issues, certainly some disciplinary issues were suspended.
06:45They're saying I was a locker room cancer.
06:48I'd have disciplinary issues too if I had to go bald in my early 20s.
06:56If I lose my hair in two years, I'm going to be pretty upset.
07:00It was my first time ever getting cut.
07:03You know, I've always been that guy in football, you know,
07:05number one player coming out of high school, number one in college.
07:08So it was just a, it was a different feeling.
07:10He was the next Bo Jackson, next this, this, that.
07:13And sometimes people not letting you create your own legacy that can hinder you,
07:18you know, getting all the money, getting all the fame that can play effect on like,
07:22hey, can you stay the course?
07:23Tom reached out to me.
07:25Devin Weiss was my former teammate at LSU, you know, my younger brother.
07:29And he wanted me to come play for the Buccaneers.
07:33And I'm like, why not?
07:34We need to go get Leonard.
07:36Like, this guy going to help us win the Super Bowl.
07:38Because in the fourth quarter, you don't want to tackle him.
07:46We can do.
07:48Hey, he only had to go 200 miles down to Tampa.
07:54The selfish side of me, but the other side of me wanted everybody to be healthy.
08:00We wanted the protest to work and educate people.
08:04So I just wanted all that to happen during that time.
08:07But, you know, I definitely wanted to play when I found out we had Tom.
08:12It was quiet, man.
08:13It was very different, weird, you know,
08:16because a lot of us are used to playing against hundreds of thousands of fans,
08:19things like that.
08:20It felt like you was at a scrimmage most of the time.
08:23One thing that hadn't changed was the dominance of the Buccaneers' first opponent.
08:28The Saints had won 13 of their previous 17 games against Tampa Bay.
08:34Oh, they had the best of us.
08:35Yeah, the Saints had the best of us.
08:37They had our card.
08:38We've had altercations with them in the past.
08:40A lot of pushing and shoving going on.
08:42This has been going on.
08:43You, my goodness.
08:44And he's such a...
08:46Like, he's a different person going up against Marshawn Lattimore.
08:51You, Michael Evans, has some major scruffs with the Saints.
09:02You.
09:03For a couple years.
09:05The Saints have been together for multiple seasons.
09:08Brady throws the ball up.
09:09Bill, it is intercepted in midfield.
09:12This is our first time ever with each other.
09:14And I think that's what made it hard in the beginning.
09:17Brady passes to the near side.
09:19It's intercepted.
09:20It will be a pick six.
09:21So, the Tom Brady era begins with a loss.
09:26It broke my spirit, especially with all the hype we had.
09:30They didn't mention him.
09:32And they didn't mention the pandemic.
09:35Around the team, how good I knew the defense was.
09:38It just made us even more hungry because we didn't show up and do what we thought we was going
09:44to do.
09:44Or do what we put in the work to do.
09:47The next week against the Panthers, Tom Brady and Mike Evans got the Buccaneers off to a better start.
09:53Great throw.
09:54Great throw.
09:54Great ball right there.
09:55Unbelievable.
09:57Pre-snap before we got out the...
09:59To run the double move.
10:00I wasn't supposed to run that route, but he told me to run the double move.
10:03Like, I didn't really win on the move, but he threw it back shoulder to where only I could get
10:07it.
10:07And as soon as I turned back, the ball was, like, in my gut already.
10:12And as a receiver, you love that because it's right there.
10:15I didn't have to make a big adjustment.
10:16It just came right to my stomach, and it was a hell of a throw.
10:20Leading by seven late, the Bucs needed a good finish.
10:24That's why they went out and got Leonard Fournette.
10:27As the game goes on longer and longer, when you wear guys down, Tom kept telling me,
10:32Leonard, we need to run.
10:34You know, we know you got it, and you just need it.
10:36And I'm telling you, you give me an inch, I'm going to take it a mile.
10:39And that's what happened.
10:41I had a backside lane, I took it, and it was game.
10:44To the 40, to the 35, to the 30, to the 30, to the 30, 25, to the 20,
10:47Fournette to the 10, 5, 3, 2, 1, touchdown, Tampa Bay.
10:50Run the ball, Leonard Fournette.
10:53After a win in Denver, Tampa Bay came home to face the Chargers
11:00and fell into a 17-point hole.
11:03And we was going to be a...
11:04Rookie Phenom, all the talent in the world, Rookie of the Year, Justin Herbert.
11:12You let him make those throws, he's going to make those throws.
11:16Tempership defense, that was not the way to go.
11:18What are we going to do to come back?
11:22What are we going to do to come back?
11:24But just having this new mentality, like, they got to earn everything from here on out.
11:28We took everything away from him.
11:32Fumble did the books come up with a ball.
11:34Devin White is the guy that came up with the football.
11:36Just what the doctor ordered right at the six-yard line.
11:40Tom in the office, clicking, you know, he's making throws.
11:4330 of 46, 369 yards, five touchdowns.
11:48It's Tom.
11:49You give Tom an answer, you're going to take it a mile.
11:50And that's what he did.
11:52You talk about the Tom Brady effect.
11:55This is one of the few times that I felt like this team was very capable of coming back
12:00and having the result that they did today.
12:03For the Buccaneers, the first tastes of life with Brady were sweet.
12:08But they didn't come without Hickams.
12:10Here is the snap at Brady.
12:12One more shot, fourth down.
12:14Pass up the field.
12:15It is incomplete.
12:16Chicago will take over on downs.
12:19Tom Brady was saying, hey, Mr. Ref, was that third down?
12:24It was fourth down and five, and the pass is incomplete.
12:28And Tom Brady thinking he has one more down.
12:31But this game is over.
12:34It said third down on one of the chains or the sticks.
12:37And then on the other side, it said fourth down.
12:39I knew it was fourth down.
12:41I knew it was fourth down.
12:43But I could see how, you know, you think it's third down if you're just looking at this side.
12:47So he's looking at our bench.
12:49And on that side, I think it was saying third down.
12:51But I just knew that they forgot to click the stick down.
12:54It was just an honest mistake.
13:01Tough for tough loss.
13:08We're on the team.
13:10But his mind was still on his old one.
13:14You have dreams, aspirations have set up that he was going to be with the Jags for a long time.
13:20And throughout the regular season, it was just messing with me.
13:22You know, it was messing with me bad.
13:25I mean, because B.A., we had talks.
13:28And he was like, man, you used to be that guy at the Jaguars and probably one of the only
13:32guys there.
13:33You know, but this is a team that's different.
13:35You know, if you get your mind right and, you know, stop pouting, you got it.
13:40You got everything a player needs.
13:42The last thing Fournette needed was an injury.
13:46But that's what happened when he tweaked his ankle in week three.
13:50When I got hurt, I mean, they ain't making it any better.
13:53You know, another frustrating moment for me.
13:56I had to wait.
13:56I think it was going to five games after that.
13:59Really not playing, really not getting the ball.
14:03Running back Ronald Jones sees the starting role.
14:06Against the Packers, he scored twice.
14:09While the defense held an Aaron Rodgers-led attack to just ten points.
14:14And now you can see what this football team could potentially do.
14:20I was glad that we were able to show the world again what they were saying at the time
14:24with the best team, top two team in the NFL, what we could do.
14:29The man in the middle of it was second-year linebacker Devin White,
14:32who emphatically sealed a win the next week in Las Vegas.
14:37Fourth out of one, here's Carr.
14:38Under pressure, under pressure.
14:40Rolling to his right.
14:42Carr's knocked out of bounds.
14:43I knocked him under, uh, John Gruden.
14:46And, uh, basically took him out.
14:49Carr trying desperately to keep the Raiders alive in this game.
14:53And Devin White said, no, sir.
14:56I don't get this about John Gruden.
15:00Al Davis lets you walk and he's, you know, he made a mistake.
15:05Why would you think his idiot bull-cut son would be okay to work for?
15:12Yeah, that's the move.
15:13I'll work for Mark Davis.
15:15If Al Davis didn't work out, Mark Davis would be better?
15:19I don't get that.
15:26Even as a sophomore, White earned respect beyond his years and wasn't afraid to be a leader to players several
15:34seasons his senior.
15:36Hey, you getting under, I'm getting under.
15:37You say what?
15:38You going under, I'm going under.
15:40Why are you coming under?
15:40I'm coming under in the B-gab.
15:42You going in the A, so I'm going under, you going under.
15:44I produce.
15:45Like, they're not going to listen to a second-year guy that's not benefiting the team.
15:49You say, we finna kick their ass and we're going back to Florida.
15:52Victorious, man.
15:54Let's go.
15:55Let's go.
15:55Hey, dive on three.
15:56One, two, three.
15:57Duh.
15:58Quick snap on first and goal running to the left.
16:00Touchdown, New York Giants.
16:02They lead 14-3.
16:05I just don't feel like we came out there with a sense of urgency.
16:08You know, we kind of let our guard down a little bit and teams start jumping out on us.
16:13But we knew that we could beat anybody.
16:15Back shoulder toward Mike.
16:16Hey, makes the catch.
16:18Substrapped him away.
16:20What a catch by Evans.
16:21Perfect throw by Brady.
16:22The Buccaneers didn't play their best, but had just enough against a rebuilding team.
16:28Where'd it go?
16:29Where'd it ride it out?
16:30What it took?
16:31That's a dangerous game to play against better teams and bitter rivals.
16:3910-2.
16:40They beat us the first game.
16:42We wanted to, like, put on the show and get the W.
16:46They had a perfect start.
16:48They had a perfect start.
16:49You know, we didn't execute on offense.
16:53The minute they stepped on the field, like, we were defeated.
16:58You lose games, but you don't lose them like that.
17:0038-3, the final.
17:03The Saints, for the second year in a row, sweep the Buccaneers.
17:06After a win in Carolina, the Bucs struggled against another playoff contender.
17:12We were a really talented roster.
17:14I felt that we were the most talented roster in the NFL.
17:18We just weren't doing the little things that other teams have been doing that's been together
17:21for multiple years.
17:22What type of legacy we're going to leave this year?
17:25Like, we're going to let these losses define us, or we're going to overcome everything
17:28and show the world what we're really about, the team that we really are?
17:32Dropping to throw at Mahomes.
17:33Looks downfield.
17:34What's the long ball?
17:35Downfield.
17:35Got a receiver in the area.
17:36Into the quad ball.
17:37A Tyreek Hill.
17:38Touchdown, Kansas City Chiefs.
17:41When we're disguising well, allow Patrick Mahomes.
17:45And 52 other Chiefs would come to regret that in February.
17:51Wanted to know what coverage we was in.
17:53When we was in Seagull High, so he was going with the football.
17:56Where Patrick Mahomes went was to Tyreek Hill again.
18:00It put the Buccaneers in another early hole, and Hill celebrated with one of the classics.
18:06I've called the president.
18:08President, we need a national guard.
18:10We need as many men as you can spare, because we are killing the Patriots.
18:14They need help.
18:15I'm doing a center sharp.
18:17They, hey, help.
18:19Okay, you on the way?
18:20Okay.
18:22Help is on the way.
18:23Man, I told all our DBs, I said, we're going to get the last land.
18:27It doesn't hit the same when you're not in front of a full house of fans.
18:34We're against the wall.
18:35Every time we step out here, man, we got something to prove.
18:38Prove it, bro.
18:39Even with KC jumping out on us, quick as they did, we still shut them down at the halftime.
18:44I'm fast, too.
18:45I ran 4-1.
18:52We got it going late in the game.
18:58Good job, fellas.
18:59Come on, keep going.
19:00They fought hard.
19:01You give them credit.
19:02The Bucs fought their way back.
19:04We just ran out of time.
19:05We just needed a couple more minutes, and I felt that we could have won that game.
19:09We can beat these boys, man.
19:11We just played the supposedly best team in the NFL, the reigning Super Bowl champs, and
19:17that was the best shot they gave us.
19:19Like, they let us come all the way back and almost win.
19:22Yeah, I feel like we're the best team in the NFL.
19:26The Bucs found something in that second half, and they brought it to bear after their bye week.
19:31First down and goal from the one handoff.
19:33Oh, Joe, over the top.
19:35Touchdown, Tampa Bay.
19:36What was missing was Leonard Fournette.
19:39He was inactive, taking scout team reps.
19:42And his time in Tampa looked like it might end the way it did in Jacksonville.
19:47I still wasn't playing.
19:49Coach B.A. just told me he felt like I needed to get my mind right.
19:54He felt like I mentioned that I wasn't there.
19:57And truthfully, I really wasn't.
19:59And he just sat me.
20:00We had talks.
20:02And he was like, listen, I don't want to cut you, you know, but if you want to be released,
20:06you know, you just let me know.
20:08He's like, well, I don't think it's the best thing for your career.
20:10You know, and as a man, you know, you start to think about, like, it's how I feed my family.
20:15You know, I already just been cut from another team when they're saying I was a locker room
20:20cancer or whatever such the case may be.
20:23And I didn't want that to prolong a round.
20:27Leonard Fournette replaces Ronald Jones II as our starting running back.
20:32I think Roger was hurt.
20:33And I had an opportunity.
20:35I had to take the best advantage of my opportunity as I can.
20:39Once again, Fournette had his inch.
20:41But the Buccaneers were still stuck on their toughest mile.
20:45Against the Falcons, they fell behind by 17 points.
20:50It felt like they were playing to get in.
20:54Okay.
20:56Your quarterback beat them 28 after a 28-3 deficit.
21:01I'm not, I wouldn't be worried about that.
21:04To the postseason.
21:06And we were just ready for the season to be over.
21:09But it was really the other way around.
21:11We were on the verge of not making a playoff, like, you know what I'm saying?
21:13So every game started to really, really matter.
21:16Like, every game became a playoff game.
21:17We're telling Coach B, Coach B, man, man, just give the playmakers the ball.
21:21We're going to make it happen.
21:22In just a few days, Fournette went from scout team reps to scoring twice in a must-win game.
21:29And when the Buccaneers took a late lead, defensive coordinator Todd Bowles turned to one of his playmakers.
21:36He was like, I need you to take over this game.
21:39Like, he was like, you're about to take over this game.
21:41And I was like, man, just dial it up, Coach.
21:43I got you.
21:44Like, dial these plays up for me.
21:46Give me some good cards.
21:47Give me some more good cards, Coach.
21:49I made the big plays in the right moment.
21:52Ryan looking.
21:53He's going to be sacked.
21:54Dropped by Devin White.
21:56Ryan dropping back under pressure.
21:57He's going to be lassoed and sacked at the 10 by Devin White.
22:01That's two for Devin today.
22:03Devin gave us two big plays we needed.
22:05And we're off to victory.
22:16Fornette scored his third touchdown since stepping into the starting lineup.
22:20And for him and the Buccaneers, the best was yet to come.
22:25Bucs win.
22:26Bucs win.
22:27Bucs win.
22:28Pack your bags.
22:29We're going to the playoffs.
22:31I just wanted to win so bad because I've never been to the playoffs.
22:36It's what I've been working for since I got into the league.
22:40You fight all training.
22:41And you want to make the playoffs.
22:44You want to be one of those teams to make it.
22:46And we did it.
22:49First time since 2007 and we are ready to work against the Washington football team.
22:55We're without Ronald Jones II.
22:57Rojo injured a quad in pre-game practice and is unavailable.
23:01Next man up, it was me.
23:04And, you know, I've played in plenty of playoff games.
23:07You know, I know the atmosphere.
23:08Once your number's called, you know, you have to do what you have to do.
23:1120 to 26.
23:14Leonard Fournette was getting nearly every carry in a playoff game.
23:18And suddenly, that lack of regular season playing time looked like a blessing in disguise.
23:24I think that's what God had in store for me because of the last four playoff games.
23:28I was just fresh.
23:28I felt good.
23:29I had no problem.
23:31I had my win.
23:32It was just in his plans.
23:40Fournette punished the Washington defense, gaining 132 yards from scrimmage on 23 touches.
23:47And the legend of playoff Lenny was born.
23:52I've been knowing Leonard for a long time, ever since I was getting recruited by LSU.
23:58Leonard's nickname really is Seven, because that was his number.
24:03Button.
24:04That's just something his parents them gave him.
24:06During the season, everybody started, like, I think Tom started calling him first.
24:10I don't know.
24:11They started calling him Lenny.
24:12Lenny, way to run, bro.
24:13Keep it up.
24:14In the locker room, if I called him Lenny, he'd be like, man, come on, man.
24:17You know I don't like that.
24:18Like, he'd be like, man, you know me.
24:19Like, that ain't my nickname.
24:20Like, you know, he loved Button or Seven.
24:22Like, so I'm like, bro, everybody, I'll call you Lenny.
24:25Why I can't call you Lenny?
24:25I feel like Lenny was corny.
24:28Don't get me wrong.
24:29At first, you know, I wasn't too fine of it.
24:31But then, like, it just spread like wildfire.
24:34So I just had to accept it.
24:37From the first Washington.
24:38He joins Lenny Moore and Lenny Dawson as talented champions.
24:45Yeah, bro's going crazy.
24:50So you can start calling yourself Playoff Lenny.
24:53Playoff Lenny, you heard me?
24:56I didn't know that Leonard didn't like the name prior to the playoffs.
25:01But he definitely was Playoff Lenny.
25:03He made so many plays for us.
25:05Everybody knew what time it was, you know, Playoff Lenny and all this.
25:09So it kept going on and on and on.
25:12Hey, that's why you wanted me to help.
25:14Damn right, brother.
25:1518.
25:16It's up.
25:16Hand the ball off.
25:17Fournette is stuttered.
25:18Touchdown, Tampa Bay.
25:20Yeah!
25:21The Buccaneers signed Fournette to finish games.
25:25Now the fourth quarter belonged to Playoff Lenny.
25:28Hey, put the ball out, bro.
25:30You're going to play your ass off.
25:32It's a big win, man.
25:34I'm happy to be a part of this organization.
25:36Just thanking God for the second chance.
25:40Tampa Bay began its season with a loss in the Superdome.
25:44If those Buccaneers were gone, replaced by a team that had come together, now they just
25:51had to show it.
25:53Everything, everybody trying to take away from us, we got to go earn it.
25:56And let's start with them.
25:57Them **** that's in black.
25:59We're going hunting.
26:00We're going hunting tonight.
26:01So when we step out there on that field, it's up with us, man.
26:04Let's go, man.
26:05Let them do all that ****.
26:07They got something to prove.
26:08We done beat that fast two times.
26:10We don't got **** to prove.
26:12That don't even matter.
26:13I'm telling you, like, once we get in the playoffs, that's all that matters.
26:16I said, we're going to see them when it means the most.
26:19I'm waiting on you to make a big play.
26:20So I can make a big play.
26:21Can I feed off you?
26:24That's what I want to hear.
26:25Hey, I went to Antoine Winfield.
26:27I said, bro, let's take over this game.
26:29We got to get a turnover.
26:31Let's show them why they drafted us.
26:32Like, we young, but let's show them why they drafted us.
26:35Late in the third quarter, the Bucs were down seven, with the Saints driving.
26:41That's when the rookie safety and second-year linebacker spoke their game-changing play into existence.
26:48Picked up by the Bucs, Devin White.
26:49Devin White follows a blocker down the sideline.
26:52And the Buccaneers come up with a football.
26:54Hey, we just talked about it.
26:58Man, I was looking for one block so I could go to the crib.
27:01We needed the score bad.
27:03Tom kept screaming.
27:04We have to score.
27:05We have to score.
27:06I'm like, damn.
27:07And I'm like, we got to make a play.
27:09Brady has time.
27:10Starts the best.
27:11Goes to the back.
27:11Caught ball.
27:11Tops.
27:12It's Leonard Fournette.
27:15They talk about it.
27:17They talk about it.
27:18It's all.
27:19We do this.
27:20We do this.
27:21We do this.
27:23The Buccaneers took a three-point lead in the fourth quarter
27:27and had to protect it from an explosive Saints offense
27:29and star running back Alvin Kamara.
27:41Everybody know he always juking people.
27:43He always slipping off of other people.
27:45I was out there making plays going hard.
27:47I'm telling you, like, I was talking noise.
27:49I was in the zone.
28:01He was like, I'm going to get you.
28:02I'm like, nah, bro.
28:03I'm not one of them.
28:04Like, get them.
28:04You don't get me.
28:05I'm going to put the dagger in him.
28:08Watch.
28:09The game was tight.
28:10I just knew crunch time.
28:13Where they go with the ball, Alvin Kamara.
28:18Alvin!
28:18Picked off by Devin White to the 40.
28:22Shops a guy out of his way.
28:23Inside the 30, Devin White down the sideline.
28:26And the Bucs have the ball.
28:28Come on, Alvin Kamara, come on!
28:30Come on!
28:32When Alvin Kamara come out the back, and he square his shoulders, he's going down the scene.
28:36Drew Brees used to lob it over to him.
28:39And I undercut the ball, and that was all she wrote.
28:42I told my coach I was about to put the dagger in him.
28:46We're heading to the NFC Championship game.
28:48Bucs win!
28:49Bucs win!
28:49Bucs win!
28:50Man, we just beat the team that we couldn't beat, that beat the mess out of us, that made
28:55and embarrassed us.
28:56Like, we just beat them.
28:57It kind of put you on the high horse.
28:59Hey, we're going to be scared for whoever.
29:03And they retired Drew Brees, so...
29:06Came after.
29:09I was nervous.
29:10I played in the championship before against Tom, and I knew how hard it is to get back
29:15here.
29:16Have a day.
29:17Yeah?
29:17That's what we do for right here.
29:19Yeah.
29:19This is nice.
29:20I feel like a football game right here.
29:21This is nice.
29:21Yeah.
29:22This is nice.
29:23All right, so...
29:24Score!
29:24First drive, come on!
29:27We have two really big third-down plays.
29:29Tom throws me a double-bump fade.
29:32I'm in the slot.
29:33It's man-to-man, and he throws a perfect ball.
29:37And it just drops right in my basket.
29:39And I catch it, and I fall.
29:41And so that's a huge third-down conversion.
29:45A few plays later, it's third-down again.
29:48I have a corner route, and it's man-to-man versus King.
29:51He's a tall corner.
29:52The physical at the top, and I come out of it running, and Tom just throws it right
29:57over his head.
29:58It's perfect.
30:00Brady has all kinds of time.
30:01Throws toward the end zone.
30:02It is a caught ball!
30:03Touchdown, Tampa Bay by Kevin!
30:05Can't make the plays right in my hands, and we start the game fast.
30:10Tom threw a perfect ball, bro.
30:13That corner is tall as s***.
30:15Look, he was falling, and he jumped up, almost got it.
30:18But it went right over.
30:21Bucs and Green Bay tied at 7-7.
30:25A little stutter step by Fournette.
30:27Flights through a tackle.
30:30Gets a block on the right side.
30:32Now another block.
30:32He's inside the 10.
30:33To the 5.
30:343, 2, 1.
30:35Touchdown, Tampa Bay!
30:39Playoff, Nanny!
30:42Playoff, Nanny!
30:44Went on with the DB.
30:45I made a spin move on him.
30:47After that, it was just touchdown.
30:49Fournette refused to go down.
30:51The Bucs lead by 7.
30:55With 13 seconds left in the first half,
30:58Tampa Bay had the ball to Packers 45.
31:01And facing fourth down,
31:03they also had a big decision to make.
31:06Go for it!
31:08We knew it was a big risk.
31:10They have one of the best quarterbacks in the lead on the other side,
31:12who's known for joint Hail Marys.
31:14Bruce Arians, the head coach of the Buccaneers, decides to go for it.
31:17I'm telling myself, listen, if the ball comes to you,
31:20make sure you catch this ball and get a first down.
31:25Brady kicks the leg, gets the snap, they run a stud, gets the pass away.
31:27Caught ball!
31:28Nice catch by Linnett Fournette.
31:30Got the first down,
31:31and it led to another big play with Tommy and Scooter.
31:34Eight seconds, seven seconds, Brady to throw,
31:37throws a deep pass downfield.
31:39Got Scottie Miller in the open!
31:41Makes the catch!
31:42Touchdown Tampa Bay!
31:44Scottie, Scooter, Miller!
31:46And Brady puts it right on the spot!
31:54As the second half began,
31:56Devin White found himself around a loose football once again.
32:04Jay White, man, he the hardest-hitting,
32:07probably the hardest-hitting player in the NFL, Jordan White here.
32:10He came down here, swooned there,
32:12Joe caught the ball, turned it up,
32:14missed him, pop!
32:19I picked up the ball.
32:21I was trying to get him into the end zone.
32:27You have to make the other team pay when they turn the ball over,
32:30and the Bucs got two touchdowns off of the last two drives.
32:34The Buccaneers had an 18-point lead,
32:37but Green Bay had Aaron Rodgers.
32:40The league MVP pulled the Packers within one score
32:43and had them threatening to tie the game before the two-minute warning.
32:49It is third down and goal to go at the eight-yard line.
32:52Can they get a score here?
32:55With time initially, steps up, scrambles.
32:59Over the middle, incomplete.
33:00My goodness!
33:01It looked like he could have run for the touchdown.
33:04That play, they say he should have ran.
33:06I'm standing right there on the end zone.
33:09You think Aaron Rodgers can beat me to the end zone?
33:12No, sir.
33:13Kick, kick it.
33:14I'm a little surprised they didn't actually go for it on fourth down there.
33:18I think it was smart.
33:19He couldn't get in the other three times he tried.
33:23It's 31-26.
33:25Two minutes and five seconds left of the fourth quarter.
33:28I wish they would have went for it so we don't have to have this conversation,
33:31but we would have stopped them.
33:33I would have had to do two things.
33:37Get the touchdown and the successful two-point conversion on a very good defense.
33:45Packers.
33:45And then a third thing, stop Tom Brady from leading a two-minute offense because he does
33:53that all the time.
33:55It's just not that simple as people try to make that out to be.
33:59Couldn't get a stop, and Tampa Bay was on its way to the Super Bowl.
34:16To be able to make it to the Super Bowl is something that a lot of us have never done,
34:21and it's going to be at home in Tampa with the right mental world.
34:25Ladies, playoff ladies.
34:28Boy, you came here, huh?
34:30It was just tears of joy, you know, going from being cut and now being a Super Bowl contender.
34:37And I'm helping the team out in a major way to get us these Ws,
34:41and just my emotions are everywhere.
34:45They get a home Super Bowl.
34:46Home Super Bowl, baby.
34:48Man, we're going to the Super Bowl, but, like, we're going to win it.
34:52That's all I was saying.
34:53Like, we're going to win the Super Bowl.
34:54We ain't just going.
34:55Like, ain't no fun.
34:56We happy to, you know, be playing at home, but let's make real history.
35:00Let's be the first team to play at home and win at home.
35:02Way to go, baby.
35:03Way to go.
35:04Beat us during the regular season.
35:06We have a little revenge on our minds.
35:09I was just so calm the whole week.
35:11You know, you wouldn't think that we was playing the biggest game in the world.
35:15I was just calm.
35:16Um, the whole week and the whole day leading up to the...
35:20I wouldn't say it's the biggest game in the world, but it's, uh, pretty big.
35:26...the game.
35:27Everybody, like, knew we was going to win.
35:29Fly around, make plays, do what we've been doing all f***ing season.
35:31And we're going to be world champs.
35:3310, 3, 1, 2, 3.
35:35I'm checking our house, our house.
35:36And I'm just thinking, like, man, nobody's talking about, like, what if we lose or anything?
35:40We're just making plans for the win, that's it.
35:42We're on the biggest stage.
35:44The world is watching.
35:45What you going to do?
35:46What you going to do?
35:47I'm going to hear somebody in the mouth.
35:50The energy was just different that day.
35:53Why not be the greatest today?
35:54Ain't no reason why.
35:55Why not be the greatest today?
35:57Game this song.
35:57Game this song.
35:58Tom gave the speech about honor.
36:01The name on your back will be remembered for years.
36:03I think that set it off for the whole team.
36:05In their fifth Super Bowl appearance together, Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski gave the Buccaneers
36:11an early lead.
36:13In his first Super Bowl, Mike Evans changed the game with two plays, without even touching
36:19the ball.
36:20Pass knocked down.
36:21Intercepted.
36:23Tyron Matthews got the pick.
36:25Flag on the plate.
36:28They're going to call Chavarius Ward with a holding penalty here prior to the pass.
36:34He drawed us a lot of big flags, man, because he's a big guy, and he's a big guy with
36:39speed.
36:41The penalty kept the drive alive, and Brady and Gronkowski connected again.
36:46Throws toward the end zone.
36:48Caught ball.
36:49Touchdown, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
36:51Rob Gronkowski.
36:53Yeah, just go, Tom.
36:56Get these, baby.
36:57With under a minute left in the first half, the Buccaneers had the ball on their own 42-yard
37:03line.
37:04We were just thinking maybe get a field goal, probably, best-case scenario, and I'm just
37:08like, all right, I'm about to just run as fast as I can.
37:10Hopefully, I can make a play.
37:1128 seconds of the Buccaneers, 42-yard line.
37:16I feel like he's kind of grabbing my horse collar a little bit, but they're not going to
37:20call that.
37:23And then I just feel like something hit my foot.
37:25I thought his foot tripped me up, but he actually, like, dove on my leg.
37:29Oh, the flag will come out.
37:30Mass interference.
37:31At first, I was like, dang, that's a bad call.
37:34Until I saw the replay, I was like, all right, yeah, he's trying to take my leg out.
37:36We got a touchdown out of it, and that helped us huge.
37:3910 seconds on the clock.
37:41Brady takes the staff.
37:42Play action fake.
37:43Looks toward the right.
37:44Throws are the...
37:44Caught, caught, caught.
37:45Is it a touchdown?
37:46Yes!
37:47Antonio Brown in the box at 7.
37:50Let's go!
37:51Let's go, A.B.
37:53A.B.
37:54Let's go!
37:55We ain't losing this game.
37:58Let's go.
37:59Let's finish it up.
37:59Let's get it.
38:01Bruce Arians and the Buccaneers gave Leonard Fournette an inch when he needed it most.
38:07In the second half, playoff Lenny made the final mile his finest.
38:16As the game went on, a lot of guys didn't want to tackle anymore.
38:21Minute by minute, second by second, we're just breaking their will.
38:25You know, no guy wants to get hit every play by somebody who's 200-something pounds, and
38:30they're weighing like 175.
38:35Bro!
38:36That's how you run it, baby!
38:38Keep going, keep going.
38:39Run his ass over!
38:40Run his ass over!
38:45Well, that's a man running the football.
38:48Look out!
38:49Here's the snap, run the ball to the right, and it'll blow it to the 20, 15, 10, 5!
38:54Touchdown time, A.B.
