From worst to first - the Buccaneers defied all NFL logic and reached the championship game in only their fourth season. Built around a league-best defense, the Bucs raced to 5-0 and then 9-3 before a late slide set up a final game rainy showdown with the Chiefs. Once in the post-season, they handled the Philadelphia Eagles despite being serious underdogs, before being shutout by the Los Angeles Rams at a delirious Tampa Stadium.
