[edit] NFL Records

The Buccaneers hold some the NFL's less desirable records due in large part to some bad seasons in the late 70's and 80's.

  • 2nd (Tie) For Most Rushing Touchdowns (31) Allowed in a Season (1986)
  • 1st For Most Opponents Punt Returns (71) in a Season (1976, 1977)
  • 1st For Most Consecutive Games Lost (26)
  • 2nd For Most Attempts (407) in a Season (1984) - James Wilder
  • 2nd For Most Passes Intercepted (35) in a Season (1988) - Vinny Testaverde
  • Only NFL team to go a single season without a win.
