The National Football Conference (NFC) champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers (15-4) won their first Super Bowl by defeating the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Oakland Raiders (13-6), 48–21.
Oakland came into the game as four-point favorites. However, the Tampa Bay defense dominated the contest.
