The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or “Bucs,” are a professional American football team based in Tampa, Florida, competing in the National Football League’s National Football Conference (NFC). Established in 1976 the team endured an initial 0–14 season.
Despite a rough start, with a 26-game losing streak that remains a Super Bowl-era record, the Bucs, led by quarterback Doug Williams, surprised many by winning 10 games in 1979, advancing to the conference championship game.
The franchise achieved Super Bowl victories in 2003 against the Oakland Raiders (now Las Vegas Raiders) and in 2021 against the Kansas City Chiefs. In 2020 the team signed legendary quarterback Tom Brady, who led them to their second Super Bowl win.
