The Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished the 2019 season with a 7-9 record, a step in the right direction for a team that was coming off two-straight 5-11 seasons. A strong 4-2 finish to the year have many people believing the Bucs, under the guidance of veteran coach Bruce Arians, are poised to make a return to the postseason in 2020, somewhere they haven’t been since 2007.
But a losing record is still a losing record, and Tampa Bay wasn’t the only Florida team that struggled last season. You can add the Jacksonville Jaguars (6-10) and Miami Dolphins (5-11) to that list as well. In fact, Florida teams had the worst combined winning percentage among states with multiple NFL teams, ahead of only Ohio (Browns and Bengals).
Take a look.
The Bucs would love to improve on their record next year. With a young defense and formidable offense, Tampa Bay may just be a quarterback away from becoming a true contender.
