2002 IN REVIEW
The Packers came flying out of the gates winning eight of their first nine games as they had the newly established NFC Northern Division clinched by midseason with their other three division opponents on the way to losing ten or more. Once again Brett Favre would be the driving force passing for 3,658 yards while starting every game for the 11th straight season. After stumbling at the end of November with road losses to the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Packers appeared to be on the verge of securing home field advantage needing just a win over the New York Jets in the final game of the season. However, the Jets would trounce the Packers 42-17, as the Packers who finished with a 12-4 record not only lost home field, but also their first round bye in the playoffs. In the playoffs, the Packers who had a perfect regular season record at Lambeau Field were stunned in the snow by the Falcons 27-7, in what was their first home playoff loss in franchise history.
FAREWELL TO THE NFC CENTRAL
2002 marked the debut of the NFC North Division, which was the NFC Central minus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. When the AFL and NFL merged in 1970, there were five different alignments under consideration for the Central.
Plan 1 - Chicago, Green Bay, Detroit, New Orleans
Plan 2 - Dallas, St. Louis Cardinals, New Orleans , Atlanta
Plan 3 - Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Minnesota
Plan 4 - Chicago, Green Bay, Detroit , Atlanta
Plan 5 - Chicago, Green Bay, Dallas, St. Louis Cardinals
In Plan 2, Green Bay would have been in the West with San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Detroit (Minnesota would have been in the East), in what was geographically the most convoluted alignment. Of course, Plan 3 was selected, and Tampa Bay joined the foursome in 1977 after spending one year in the AFC West.

SUPER BOWL 37 (January 26, 2003 at San Diego)
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (14-4) 48, OAKLAND RAIDERS (13-5) 21 - The Buccaneers' defense intercepted five passes, three of which were returned for touchdowns, and recorded five sacks as Tampa Bay scored 34 unanswered points en route to its first Super Bowl victory. Charles Woodson intercepted Brad Johnson three plays into the game to give Oakland the ball at the Buccaneers' 36. But Simeon Rice sacked Rich Gannon on third down to force the Raiders to settle for Sebastian Janikowski's 40-yard field goal. On their next nine possessions, the Raiders registered just two first downs and did not run a play inside the Buccaneers' 40 as Tampa Bay scored the next 34 points. The Buccaneers answered Janikowski's field goal with Martin Gramatica's 31-yard boot to tie the game. An interception by Dexter Jackson set up Gramatica's go-ahead field goal early in the second quarter. Midway through the second quarter, a 25-yard punt return by Karl Williams and a 19-yard run by Michael Pittman led to Mike Alstott's 2-yard touchdown run. Late in the half, the Buccaneers drove 77 yards, aided by three defensive penalties and pass receptions of 16 and 12 yards by Alstott, to set up Brad Johnson's 5-yard touchdown pass to Keenan McCardell with 30 seconds left in the half, which gave Tampa Bay a 20-3 lead. With their first possession of the second half, the Buccaneers put together a 14-play, 89-yard drive that consumed 7:52 and was culminated by Johnson's 8-yard scoring toss to McCardell. Two plays later, Dwight Smith intercepted Gannon's pass and returned it 44 yards for a touchdown and a 34-3 lead with 4:47 left in the third quarter. Tampa Bay scored four touchdowns in a span of 16:37. Jerry Porter's 39-yard touchdown catch in the back of the end zone made it 34-9.
