In 2021, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the defending Super Bowl champions and the team had a realistic opportunity to defend their title and repeat. Tampa finished the 2020 season with an 11-5 record and a world championship but there were hiccups along the way. 2021 was a different season and the Bucs looked like a different team.
The 2021 Buccaneers' offense, lead by its passing attack, took the team to another level as the group moved more like a machine than a football team. Tom Brady attempted 109 more passes in 2021 than his debut season, topped 5,300 yards, threw 43 touchdowns, and had just 12 interceptions.
