TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — In 2025, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are celebrating a major milestone: 50 seasons of hard-hitting, fast-paced action on the gridiron.
From 1976 to now, the team has celebrated all the highs and lows that come with playing in the National Football League. And what better way to showcase the team’s living history than a documentary?
