Super Bowl XXXVII is sometimes referred to as "The Gruden Bowl" due to the trade of coach Jon Gruden from the Oakland Raiders to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It is also sometimes known as "The Pirate Bowl" due to both teams' logos.
The game was a one-sided affair, with the Buccaneers dominating throughout. The Buccaneers' defense held the Raiders to just 3 points in the first half, and the offense led by Johnson, who threw for 215 yards and 2 touchdowns, was complimented by a strong run game, scored 48 points, and went on to win by a score of 48-21.
Defensive back Dexter Jackson was named the Super Bowl MVP after his two interceptions in the game and the win marked the Buccaneers' first Super Bowl victory in the franchise's history.
