There has only been one more important game for the Buccaneers in franchise history.
The Super Bowl versus the Oakland Raiders is the only game that has been more important for the Buccaneers than the one today. That Buccaneer team could be the best in franchise history regardless of how this season finishes, but this team is still on a mission to prove they belong in the conversation.
The Buccaneers have been a laughing stock for over a decade. Horrible draft picks, failures in free agency, and punchline after punchline have marred the Buccaneers ever since the brief glimmer of success subsided in the early 2000s, and the team has been clawing to regain that glory ever since then.
