<P> The Raiders' weakness was primarily on their defense, which ranked 25th in the league in passing yards allowed (3,787) and 12th in total yards (5,240). But veteran Pro Bowl safety Rod Woodson recorded 8 interceptions (which led the league) for 225 yards and 2 touchdowns . Up front, their line was anchored by defensive tackle Rod Coleman, who led the team with 11 sacks . Behind him, the team had a solid veteran linebacker, Bill Romanowski, who was playing in his 5th Super Bowl (after winning 2 championships with the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowls XXIII and XXIV, and 2 while playing for the Denver Broncos in Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII). Defensive back Tory James was also a big contributor with 4 interceptions . </P> <P> The second - seeded Buccaneers defeated the fourth - seeded San Francisco 49ers, 31--6, and the top - seeded Philadelphia Eagles on the road, 27--10, in the playoffs, to make the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history . Meanwhile, the top - seeded Raiders were victorious against the fourth - seeded New York Jets, 30--10, and the second - seeded Tennessee Titans, 41--24 . The Raiders won against the Titans through Gannon's pass - oriented offense . </P> <P> The Raiders entered the game favored to win in their first Super Bowl in 19 years . They were also the first franchise to appear in the Super Bowl in four different decades (1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 2000s; the 1990s was the only decade that they didn't appear in the Super Bowl). However, much of the media hype surrounded the Gruden trade prior to the season . This forced league commissioner Paul Tagliabue to issue a statement that he might ban all future trades for coaches involving draft choices because it might compromise the draft . </P> <P> A distraction for the Raiders was that starting center Barret Robbins went missing for most of the week leading up to the Super Bowl, and ended up in a San Diego hospital the night before the game after suffering a manic episode . Backup Adam Treu (a former Pro Bowl - er) replaced Robbins . </P>
