It was Tanard Jackson! His 35-yard pick-six with 35 seconds left sealed a 38-28 win over Green Bay on the day the Bucs debuted the creamsicles and inducted Lee Roy Selmon into the Ring of Honor.

17 years ago today the Bucs debuted the creamsicles, inducted Lee Roy Selmon into the Ring of Honor, and gave a rookie QB his first career start. A defender iced the win late. Who got the pick-six?

Miles Killebrew on the Bucs' turnaround: 'We know that we're a good team. We're gonna keep doing the things that we've been doing and the results will come.' That composure is carrying Tampa Bay…

Baker Mayfield has thrown more TDs than INTs in only 2 of his last 14 games.

It’s Hardy Nickerson. 214 tackles in 1993, his first season in Tampa Bay — still the NFL’s all-time single-season record and the franchise mark to this day.

Todd Bowles finally solved Ben Johnson in their last meeting in Detroit. Now Johnson's running the whole show in Chicago as the Bears' head coach. Same chess match, new stakes. #GoBucs #GetBUC

Bucky Irving just out-dueled Bijan Robinson in a 16-0 rain game. 170 yards, yards per carry, one TD. The gap is closing fast. Link in Profile. #GoBucs #BucsBreakdown

One free-agent signing in 1993 produced the single greatest tackling season in NFL history — and it still hasn’t been broken by anyone, anywhere, ever. Who put up 214 stops in his first year as a Buc?

6 INTs in 4 consecutive 1-score losses, with 3 coming in the 4th quarter. Games that would've gotten the Evans and the team into the Playoffs. But yea....it was the coach that made him want to leave.
I've seen a lot of fans on here say it's "Todd Bowles. He's the problem." But let's consider the resources devoted to the defense post-Super Bowl. They've missed on some defensive draft picks + haven't invested heavily in free agents, and some guys weren't getting developed. And Evans is going on his fifth offensive coordinator in five years. I think it has more to do with the lack of consistency with who has called plays on offense. I do know he was very disheartened about missing the playoffs too though.

Uggghhh....it just had to be San Francisco, too. I flew into San Francisco from Singapore a couple of nights ago, and I hated damn near every minute I was there. Now, it all makes sense.

You've got clown-ass, rage-bait "insiders" riling up the wannabe influencer "fans" by implying Evans' decision to leave was predicated on a single play during a loss. Let's see...I remember 6 INTs in 4 consecutive 1-score losses, with 3 in the 4th quarter. Maybe those did it.

While the #BUCS are willing to play chicken with Mike Evans for fear he may fall off soon after he's proven to be a franchise player for 12 years, they're looking at paying Mayfield to keep hoping he magically becomes a "franchise QB" after 3 seasons of uneven play.

Jason Licht gets credited for selecting Mike Evans as his first pick as GM in Tampa. But it was Lovie Smith who had his thumb on the pulse of Texas talent from high school through the college ranks. Lovie Smith had final control of the roster, and Licht was only GM in name.

You'll see people say Evans' leaving Tampa isn't about the money. And they're partially correct. It's largely about the respect behind the money. Evans should've NEVER been in a position to question whether or not the BUCS appreciated him enough to pay him to remain in Tampa.
Having your franchise player test free agency(TWICE) isn't a reward to the player, it's an unnecessary and foolish risk. Be clear: The @Buccaneers don't have the type of QB that can just make good on good WRs. There NEEDS to be an X-Factor. Mike Evans is that X-Factor.
