Buccaneers: History Begins to Repeat Itself in Tampa Bay

A philosopher/poet named George Satayana once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it”. For the Buccaneers, however, that isn’t so bad.

Points per game allowed: 13.3 (rank 1st)
Takeaways: 11 (rank 1st)
Passer rating allowed: 67.
