Tampa Bay Buccaneers seasons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of seasons completed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers American Football Franchise. The list documents the season-by-season records of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' franchise from 1976 to present, including postseason records, and league awards for individual players or head coaches.
The Buccaneers won one Super Bowl Championship in 2002 and, as of 2008, are the only NFC team to win the NFL Championship in the 21st century. This was also the teams' only Super Bowl appearance, having reached the NFC conference championship on two other occasions. The Buccaneers have been divisional champions six times, three of them in the NFC Central and the other three in NFC South. They were the first team to win the NFC South after the NFL restructure in 2002 and are to date the only team to win it on multiple occasions. In their 32-year history, the Buccaneers have played over 500 regular and post-season games and have appeared in the post-season ten times.
