2024 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Schedule, Results & Record

Founded in 1976 as an expansion team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost their first 26 games, setting a precedent for much of their early history. While the Buccaneers boast two Super Bowl championships, their legacy has largely been marked by losing seasons and ineptitude. From 1976 to 1996, the Bucs only made the NFL Playoffs three times.

A turning point came in 1997 when head coach Tony Dungy began leading the team to sustained success, taking them to the postseason in four of his final five seasons. However, Dungy couldn't secure a Super Bowl appearance and was replaced by Jon Gruden in 2002.

Gruden immediately led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory in his first season, though some claimed he won with Dungy's team. Dungy later won a Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts in 2006. Despite his initial success, Gruden's "Chucky" persona and cocky attitude couldn't sustain playoff momentum, as the Bucs missed the playoffs in the two years following their Super Bowl win. Gruden was eventually fired after producing only two playoff teams in his final six seasons.

From 2008 to 2019, the Buccaneers failed to make the playoffs. However, everything changed with the arrival of Tom Brady in 2020. In his first season away from Bill Belichick and the Patriots, Brady led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl championship in a dominant upset over the Kansas City Chiefs. Though the future Hall of Fame quarterback hung up his cleats in 2023, the Bucs still managed to punch a ticket to the second season under the guidance of Baker Mayfield who was recently through 2026.
