In 2002 the Bucs beat the Bears for their first ever win when the temperature was under 40 degrees.

1. How many consecutive games had they lost prior to that win?
2. Who was the head coach for the Bucs that year?

Time: 23.71 seconds

87 straight
Dungy

Gruden, lost 18

Win over the Bears was big. Bucs get first-round bye and break their streak of 20 straight losses when it's under 40 degrees.

The Bucs lost 21 games before beating the Bears.
The head coach was Gruden.

Are you sure 21 is correct? I copied & pasted this from here:

Either way I got it wrong because I thought you meant who was the coach from the 80's (last win).

[flotsamnjetsam]

This shows it as 21:
