The Tampa Bay Buccaneers franchise was established in 1974 and played its first season as members of the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team. After a rough start in 1996, the team made a run to the playoffs in 1997, snapping a fifteen-year playoff drought. Before 1977, Tampa Bay switched conferences and divisions with Seattle, and due to the league's realignment before the 2022 season, the Bucs were one of the four teams in the NFC South.
The Bucs would go on to win their first Super Bowl in franchise history, defeating the Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII. The Bucs luck would change in 2020 after the team signed former Patriot great Tom Brady to a two-year contract and tight end Rob Gronkowski who came out of retirement in the 2020 season. The Buccaneers earned their second Super Bowl in 2020 defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9. The Buccaneers are one of two teams to go undefeated in multiple Super Bowl appearances along with the Ravens.
The Bucs have made 14 playoff appearances and won 9 division titles, 3 in the NFC Central and 6 in the NFC South.
Some notable players to play for The Bucs over the years include Steve Young, Warren Sapp, John Lynch, Ronde Barber and Tom Brady.
