Buccaneers History
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers play in the South division of the American Football Conference (AFC) of the National Football League (NFL).
First of all, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers joined the NFL as an expansion team along with the Seattle Seahawks in 1976. While their overall record has not been impressive, they have had their moments.
For example, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have only made one Super Bowl appearance. But they won by an impressive margin of 48 to 21 against the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII. Most noteworthy, it was nicknamed The Pirate Bowl because both teams share a pirate theme.
Likewise, their head coach, John Gruden, had coached the Raiders the previous season.
Consequently, many sports fans believe that the Bucs’ lopsided victory over the Oakland Raiders could be attributed to the fact John knew the Raiders’ playbook!
Along with the New Orleans Saints and the New York Jets, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of only three NFL teams to win their only appearance in the Super Bowl.
