The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins are like next-door neighbors with high fences and a shared fondness for the Fourth of July. They don't get together often, but when they do there are usually fireworks.
The 200-mile flight from Tampa to Miami makes the Floridian neighbors natural partners in the preseason, during which they have met 30 times. That's nearly twice as many as the next most common preseason opponent for the Buccaneers, Atlanta. However, the conference divide separates them in the regular-season, and meetings have been infrequent before and after the NFL went to a rotating schedule format in 2002.
