Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have captured the passions of Tampa Bay fans from young to old. Their first season, 1976, the Buccaneers went 0-14.

Through many recent quarterback changes the Buccaneers continue to be fierce competitors in the NFL and go toward their 2nd Super Bowl win, which should not be far away for these champions in Tampa Bay.
