The Buccaneers joined the NFL as an expansion team
in 1976. After suffering a league-record 26 consecutive
losses, the team quickly turned around its fortunes.
Tampa Bay reached the NFC championship game in just
its fourth season. Losing ways returned but by the
mid-1990s, the Bucs became perennial winners. The
team won its first world championship following the
2002 season with a victory in Super Bowl XXXVII.
