NFL team season
The 2019 season was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ' 44th in the National Football League (NFL), their 22nd playing their home games at Raymond James Stadium and their first under head coach Bruce Arians . Despite improving on their 5–11 record from 2018 with a Week 14 victory over the Indianapolis Colts , the Buccaneers missed the playoffs for the twelfth consecutive season, which meant the Buccaneers were one of two teams to not qualify for the postseason in the 2010s, with the other team being the Cleveland Browns .
This season, quarterback Jameis Winston became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw at least 30 touchdown passes and 30 interceptions in a season.[1] [2]
