The Buccaneers are now 8-1 (.888) in December/January games dating back to the start of the 2023 season and 20-5 (.800) dating back to the start of the 2020 season. Tampa Bay’s eight such wins and .888 win percentage in December and January since 2023 are each tied for the best in the NFL during that span.
