It’s been a long time since stock in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was this lucrative. The Buccaneers blew the doors off the Super Dome on Sunday, scoring a total of 48 points in the highest scoring opening day contest in decades.

So, quite a significant chunk of the Buccaneer offense saw a sizable jump in their stock.
