brian mitchell returned the opening kickoff 70 yards for the eagles. two plays later, duce staley broke through the middle for a 20-yard touchdown in the game's first minute. the eagles led 7–0, the philadelphia crowd was deafening, and the eagles now looked certain to cruise to victory. the buccaneers recovered quickly, driving for a 48-yard martin gramatica field goal on their first possession. the eagles punted on their next drive, pinning tampa bay at their own 4-yard line. on 3rd-and-2 from the tampa 24-yard line, quarterback brad johnson hit joe jurevicius on a crossing route over the middle. jurevicius badly beat veteran safety blaine bishop, who was playing injured, on the coverage and ran down the sideline all the way to the eagle 5-yard line. the 71-yard play turned the tide of the game and mike alstott finished the drive with a touchdown to put tampa bay ahead 10–7. in the second quarter, philadelphia drove into the tampa bay red zone and tied the game with a 30-yard david akers field goal. however, the buccaneers began a 12-play drive on the ensuing kickoff that ended in a 9-yard touchdown pass from brad johnson to keyshawn johnson, making it 17–10 tampa bay. donovan mcnabb took the eagles back into tampa bay territory before halftime, but simeon rice sacked mcnabb and recovered the resultant fumble.

the earliest instance of the name "tampa", in the form "tanpa", appears in the memoirs of hernando de escalante fontaneda, who spent 17 years as a captive of the calusa and traveled through much of peninsular florida. he described tanpa as an important calusa town to the north of the calusa domain, possibly under another chief. archaeologist jerald milanich places the town of tanpa at the mouth of charlotte harbor. the entrances to tampa bay and charlotte harbor are obscured by barrier islands, and their locations, and the names applied to them, were a source of confusion to explorers, surveyors and map-makers from the 16th century though the 18th century. "bahía tampa" and "bahía de espíritu santo" were each used, at one time or another, for the modern tampa bay and charlotte harbor. tampa bay was labeled "bahía de espíritu santo" (bay of the holy spirit) in the earliest spanish maps of florida, but became known as "bahía tampa" (tampa bay) as early as 1695. "b. tampa", corresponding to tampa bay, appeared on a british map of 1705, with "carlos bay" for charlotte harbor to the south, while a 1748 british map had "b. del spirito santo" for tampa bay, and, again, "carlos bay" to the south. a spanish map of 1757 renamed tampa bay as "san fernando". as late as 1774, bernard romans called tampa bay "bay of espiritu santo", with "tampa bay" restricted to the northwest arm (what is now old tampa bay), and the northeast arm named "hillsborough bay". the name may have come from the calusa language, or possibly, the timucua language. some scholars have compared "tampa" to "itimpi", which means "close to or nearby" in the creek language, but its meaning is not known.
