Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1979: A Game-by-Game Guide
Relive the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' memorable 1979 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the opening night romp over the Lions to the almost miraculous push to the brink of the Super Bowl, as told in the newspaper accounts of the day.

The laughingstock of the NFL in their first three years of existence, the Bucs in 1979 fashioned one of the great stories in league history. Behind a powerful defense led by Hall of Famer Lee Roy Selmon and the strong running of Ricky Bell, Tampa Bay set the sports world on its ear with its improbable march to the NFC Championship Game. There were countless highlights along the way, including a 5-0 start that ignited Bucs Fever in Tampa, a 3-0 Week 16 win in a monsoon that clinched the NFC Central title and an impressive triumph over the Eagles in Tampa Bay's first-ever playoff game.

All of the highs and lows from the exciting season are here. A full recap and box score from every game is included, so you can follow the exploits of John McKay's band of Bucs as it went down in history as one of the great success stories ever in football.

As an added bonus, links to several video highlights are included to add more depth to the story of the '79 Buccaneers. Whether you are a die-hard Bucs fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1979 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
