The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were founded in 1974 and play their home games at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida. The franchise is owned by Bryan Glazer, with Jason Licht serving as general manager and Todd Bowles as head coach. The Bucs captured a Super Bowl championship in the 2020 season, finishing 11–5 before their postseason run. That title kicked off a sustained stretch of success: the team made the playoffs in four consecutive seasons from 2021 through 2024, including a 13–4 campaign in 2021 and a 10–7 finish in 2024. The 2025 season saw them dip to 8–9. The current roster features quarterback Baker Mayfield alongside notable players including Chris Godwin Jr., Bucky Irving, Kenny Gainwell, Emeka Egbuka, Cade Otton, Vita Vea, Antoine Winfield Jr., Rueben Bain, and Tez Johnson.
