The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are an American professional gridiron football club based in Tampa, Florida, that competes in the National Football League's National Football Conference (NFC). The Buccaneers won the Super Bowl in 2003 and again in 2021. They're one of only two teams (the New England Patriots are the other) to have played in every Super Bowl since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 (the Pittsburgh Steelers were the first team to do so), with the exception of the 1994 season when they were suspended by the NFL for using an ineligible player. Tampa Bay is also one of three teams to have never lost a Super Bowl game (along with the Patriots and Oakland Raiders). In 2002, the Buccaneers became the first NFL team to go from last place to the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. In 2003, they finished with a 12-4 record and won their first Super Bowl title. They returned to the playoffs in 2004 and 2005 but failed to win another game and both times they were eliminated by the New York Giants in the first round. In 2010, the Buccaneers began the season with a 9-7 record but went on to finish with an 11-5 record and second place in the NFC South. It was their first non-losing season since 1992 and they made their third straight post-season appearance.
