Way back in 1987, NFL players struck for four games. One of those games was cancelled, and three of them were played with replacement players—including a few of the players association’s players who crossed picket lines.
The result was some terrible, no-good football and the breaking of the strike after a third game of replacement games. And for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, amusingly, those three games led to two wins and one loss.
That’s amusing because the Bucs were terrible that season. They won just two games the rest of the year, and Football Outsiders estimates they were the second-worst team in the entire NFL that year with a somewhat mind-bogglingly low DVOA of -28.
