Tampa Bay’s OC turns down the Jacksonville head coaching gig.

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield must’ve won his head-to-head match against offensive coordinator Liam Coen.

Tampa Bay’s coordinator has decided to remain the offensive play caller for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, turning down the opportunity to become the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The move also means the team is set to make Coen the highest paid coordinator in the NFL.

This decision comes after a stellar season where Coen transformed the Bucs’ offense into one of the league’s best, guiding Mayfield to career-high performances in passing yards and touchdowns....

A well-deserved selection for the rookie running back.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving was named to the 2024 All-Rookie Team, in voting conducted by the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA).

Irving, a fourth-round selection (No. 125 overall) out of Oregon, led all rookies in rushing yards (1,122) and rushing touchdowns (8), while averaging 5.4 yards per attempt. His 5.4 yards per carry was the third-highest mark in NFL history among rookies with at least 200 rushing attempts in a season, trailing only Adrian Peterson (5.6 in 2007) and Clinton Portis (5.5 in 2002). His season rushing average...

Tampa Bay is no longer in the playoffs. And watching the Washington Commanders advance to the NFC Championship with ease should give some comfort to Bucs fans that the team — for the most part — held quarterback Jayden Daniels and Washington in check for the most part. But the team is home watching, and...

Todd Bowles got a small victory in round two of the postseason.

In the Wildcard round of the playoffs, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered an upset defeat at the hands of Jayden Daniels. The loss ended a 10-win season (Bowles' best as a head coach) and opened the door for criticism and questions to be hurled at Tampa’s head man. The immediate reaction, from most in the Buccaneers’ community, centered around Todd Bowles and was highly negative. There has been no indication from the Bucs’ organization or anyone affiliated with Tampa Bay that the team is looking to make a...

It was a rough ending to what was an exciting and productive season in some ways.

- The Buccaneers fell to the Commanders, 23-20, to end their season. The 49th season in Buccaneers history resulted in the club extending its franchise record for consecutive postseason berths to five and extending its record for consecutive division titles to four. The Buccaneers remain one of just three teams to have made the playoffs in each of the last five seasons (2020-24).

- QB Baker Mayfield completed 15-of-18 passes (83.3%) for 185 yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions to earn a 146.5...

Another walk-off loss summed up Tampa Bay’s entire season.

The game of inches can be brutal and unforgiving, and the Buccaneers experienced that in full force Sunday night.

A botched handoff, a mistimed snap, and a unfortuitous doink served as the hallmarks of a frustrating loss as the Washington Commanders claimed their first playoff win in 19 years with a last-second 23-20 victory over the Bucs.

The primetime woes continued under Todd Bowles, who falls to 3-8 in such contests and drops to 1-3 in the postseason. His defense, while feisty, simply could not muster the stops necessary to keep...

Tampa Bay is hosting Washington Sunday night for a rematch of their Week 1 matchup. This time in the NFL Playoffs.

The great Governor of Florida recognizes the great receiver of Tampa Bay.

On Friday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took to X to declare January 10, 2025, as “Mike Evans Day” across the state, celebrating Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver’s remarkable achievements and contributions.
