The Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a professional American football team based in Tampa, Florida. The Buccaneers currently compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member team of the National Football Conference (NFC) South division. Along with the Seattle Seahawks, the team joined the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team. The Bucs played their first season in the American Football Conference (AFC) West division as part of an NFL realignment plan that placed each new expansion team into a pre-existing division in order to better promote rivalries and regional connectivity. After the end of the 2001 season, the Bucs joined the NFC South.
The Buccaneers won Super Bowl XXXVII at the end of the 2002 season, becoming the first expansion team since 1967 to win a championship in its debut season. They played in and lost Super Bowl XLIII to become just one of three teams—the others being the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills—that have not won a league championship game or Super Bowl appearance following a tenure of at least 30 years.
