Where were you when Rondé Barber cut in front of that Donovan McNabb pass to Antonio Freeman, silencing both the growing doubt in our hearts and an entire stadium of usually irrepressible Eagles fans? Who were you with when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers made NFL history by winning the Super Bowl on their own home turf?
If you are a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, you can probably answer those questions without hesitation. Even if you weren't around or old enough to experience Barber's iconic pick-six in the 2002 NFC Championship Game, it's likely your friends or family have filled you in, maybe fired up YouTube to illustrate the magic of the moment.
So, after five rounds of voting, Buccaneer fans have whittled 64 memorable franchise moments down to the final two most unforgettable occurrences across a half-century of football. Derrick Brooks' "dagger" of a Super Bowl pick-six nearly made it but lost in the final four. Same for Mike Evans' incredibly dramatic milestone catch on the very last play of the 2024 season. Now it's just Barber taking it to the house in front of a stunned Veterans Stadium crowd against the Buccaneers doing what no other team had done in 54 years worth of Super Bowls.
