Arians arrives, Shaq attacks & the 2019 Krewe
Hoist the 2019 colors, Krewe! Bruce Arians arrived for Tampa Bay’s 44th season, Shaquil Barrett turned up the pass rush, and Chris Godwin and Mike Evans gave the cannons plenty of work. The 7–9 campaign paired the NFL’s top passing offense and run defense with costly turnovers—a turbulent voyage that introduced several familiar faces to the Buccaneers’ next chapter.
*The home record includes the designated home game in London. Tampa Bay went 2–5 at Raymond James Stadium and 5–3 on the road.
