2025 Team
In 2025, not only have the Buccaneers made it over the curse of winning on the prime-time stage in Week Two against the Texans and winning in throwback jerseys against the Jets in Week Three, but the club has repeatedly come out victorious in close games. Tampa Bay, which was already the first team in NFL history to win each of its first two games of a season with touchdowns in the final minute, became the first team since the 1970 merger with a game-winning score in the final minute of regulation in each of their first three games of the season. The Buccaneers became the third team in NFL history (also, 1994 New York Giants, 2017 Pittsburgh Steelers) to have three straight games in a single season in which they record a go-ahead score in the final minute of a game.
