The rest is a bit of NFL history of which the Buccaneers were not thrilled to be a part. Manning led the Colts on a stunning 21-point comeback in the game's final four minutes, helped immensely by a successful onside kick and a 90-yard kickoff return. A one-yard touchdown run completed the rally with 37 seconds left and sent the game to overtime.

It was in sudden death that the Bucs' terrible evening got a controversial capper. The Bucs won the toss and got the ball past midfield but eventually punted from the Indy 41. Manning led another long drive starting from his own 13 and getting to the Bucs' 31. From there, the Colts ran three times up the middle to position for a field goal and brought out Mike Vanderjagt to try a 40-yard game-winner. Vanderjagt was the NFL's career leader in field goal accuracy at the time, and he would finish the 2003 season a perfect 37-for-37.

Thanks to at least one second chance.

Vanderjagt actually sailed his kick to the right and the Bucs on the field began celebrating madly. The celebration quickly died, however, when a penalty was announced against the home team and Vanderjagt got a second chance. This time he nailed it and the Colts had their incredible comeback victory.

The penalty? Leaping. That's what DE Simeon Rice was accused of doing; specifically, he was said to have violated the rule that prohibits a player from getting a running start and potentially jumping on top of the opposing team's blockers. Referee Johnny Grier explained it later:

"The call was leaping. Leaping is a player starting more than one yard off the line of scrimmage and running forward and landing on players. It was reported that he was running forward. He jumped and landed on his own players. The umpire [Ed Coukart] made the call."

Bucs Head Coach Jon Gruden still seemed a bit mystified by the penalty after the game, but he did not place the loss on that play.

"I'm really going to look at that play, obviously, carefully," said Gruden. "I don't believe we were in error, at least what I could see on the field. We had numerous chances to win this game. I'm not going to cry about that one."

Rice does, in fact, line up several yards behind the line of scrimmage on the play, and he does run forward before leaping. However, his eventual jump is straight up, and he only lands slightly on a Buccaneer teammate after that teammate is blocked backward. Still, Rice apparently violated the letter of the law and Vanderjagt had his surprising miss erased from the record.
