Super Bowl XXXVII was played on January 26, 2003 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California to decide the NFL Champion between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Oakland Raiders.

Oakland came into the game as four-point favorites. However, the Tampa Bay defense dominated the contest. Bucs safety Dexter Jackson, who had two of those interceptions and returned them for 34 yards, was named Super Bowl MVP. Jackson became only the second safety and third defensive back to ever be named Super Bowl MVP. Super Bowl XXXVII is sometimes referred to as the "Gruden Bowl" because the primary storyline surrounding the game revolved around Jon Gruden. Gruden was the Raiders' head coach from 1998 to 2001 and then became the Buccaneers coach in 2002. Thus, it was "Gruden's old team" versus "Gruden's new team." It has also been called the "Pirate Bowl" since both teams have pirate-related logos.

It was also the first time in Super Bowl history that the league's #1 ranked offense (Raiders) was pitted against the league's #1 ranked defense (Buccaneers). This is the last Super Bowl to have been played in the month of January.
