The early days of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't scream "future Super Bowl contender," and for the most part, that's been true.
The Buccaneers did make it to the Super Bowl once, though, and they won that game. That makes them one of three franchises, prior to Super Bowl 55, to have won their lone appearance in the Super Bowl.
Tampa Bay has a chance to add to that history in the 2021 playoffs. Tom Brady's addition for the 2020 season made the Buccaneers a level of contender rarely seen in the club's history. With Super Bowl 55 slated to take place in Raymond James Stadium on Feb. 7, 2021, the Buccaneers could become the only team to win the Super Bowl while playing in their home stadium.
Here's more to know about the Buccaneers' Super Bowl history ahead of the possibility of adding to it in 2021.

When is the last time the Buccaneers went to a Super Bowl?
The Buccaneers have played in one Super Bowl. That was on Jan. 26, 2003, following the 2002 regular season. Jon Gruden was Tampa Bay's coach, and Brad Johnson was the team's quarterback. Behind a fearsome defense, Tampa Bay made it to the big game and beat the Raiders. Gruden had been traded from coaching the Raiders to the Buccaneers before the 2002 campaign.
