This 1989 Bucs team was competitive in a lot of games against good teams which was the best they could realistically do in those days because their ownership didn't care about winning.

Wow, amazing finding this, I was at this game, although I was at the wall of the Sombrero ..... I was at the end zone Montana scored. To think this game was left only to my memories. Thanks KZfaq 😊

Gordon McCarter always made strong calls at 5:55 . Even if the call was bad he communicated it crisply and clearly with a booming voice.

Anybody noticed the similarity of sequences between this game and the XXIII Super Bowl? (For the 49ers the only game between these two was the one played a week before this match.) Both games started with teams exchanging field goals and both were 6-6 somewhere around midgame. In both games 49ers had 2 touchdowns and the opponent one, and in both games all touchdowns were scored in the second half. In both games Jerry Rice made his only TD catch in the early going of the last quarter. In SB XXIII Cincinatti takes a 16-13 lead with 3:20 minutes left in the 4th quarter. In this game Tampa takes 16-13 lead with 3:25 left in the 4th quarter. In SB XXIII Joe Montana throws the winning TD with 34 seconds left on the clock. Against Tampa Bay Joe Montana runs for a winning TD with 40 seconds left on the clock. As both extra points were good the score was 20-16 in both games. Both games were played in Florida and both were broadcasted by CBS.

The 1989 49’ers are probably the greatest team in the history of the NFL

George won his Superbowls on the back of Bill Walsh

I remember keeping track of this game via the 10 min ticker. I think they either checked in and showed that last incompletion to rice or somehow said niners we’re facing their last chance (even tho I think it was only 3rd down?) anyway they went back to whatever we were getting shown. Then some time went by and i saw the niners won and didn’t see how til I read the paper the next day at school.

Any chance of getting 1989 week 3 49ers vs Eagles on here? It's a classic

Giving Steve Young up for Testaverde was crazy, but, Young should have asked for a trade sooner.

Montana does it again

Joe Ferguson is the Buccaneers back up QB in '89!?

Mn@chi was the main game at the same time, cbs switched it to this when chi led 31-7 in the 4th and the country witnessed another Montana comeback but I was like it was vs tb and as a chi fan I thought sf gonna have a long yr, wishful thinking on my part

1:07:10 rice money

Las ninars eran buenas noches q ahora más agrandadas q nada ... 🏉

That last defensive holding call was so bad the league apologized for it. But the Niners would have just kicked a field goal on the next play and the game probably would have gone to overtime. Not sure it cost the Bucs the win.

Roger Craig was a good RB don't get me wrong but he wasn't a hall of Famer. I've watched so many of these old niner games and he always fumbles, its seems like he's done it in every game I watched, plus he's had holes in the 89 and 90 seasons but his vision was poor, because he would keep bouncing to the outside

Bad officially come on really bucs we're one the worst teams in nfl
