In 2002 Jurevicius signed a four-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an unrestricted free agent. After a season that saw him emerge as critical to the team, especially on third downs, he authored what is widely considered the greatest offensive play in Buccaneers' history, when, in the NFC Championship game against the heavily favored rival Philadelphia Eagles, he took a crossing pattern 71 yards down to the Eagles' five-yard line. Two plays later, fullback Mike Alstott ended the Buccaneer's four-game offensive touchdown drought against the Eagles, and the momentum propelled the team to a 27-10 victory and a berth in their first Super Bowl. Jurevicius struck again in Super Bowl XXXVII, leading the team in receiving yards with four catches for 78 yards, propelling Tampa Bay to a 48-21 win over the Oakland Raiders. His grit and performance made him a fan favorite.
