The Tampa Bay Buccaneers extended their playoff streak to five seasons in 2024, but for head coach Todd Bowles, simply making the postseason was not enough.
At the NFL Annual Meeting in West Palm Beach, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles issued a rallying cry to his team, setting the tone for the upcoming 2025 season as preparations shift into high gear.
“I feel good that we know how to win,” Bowles said while speaking to the media at the NFL’s Annual League Meeting. “I don’t feel good about us finishing the season from a playoff aspect, and [in] the middle of the season, having a drought two years in a row. We’ve got to be better from that standpoint — from a coaching standpoint, from veterans holding everybody else accountable standpoint, which they do, but we’ve got to do a lot more of that. We’ve got to play not even better football at the end, but we’ve got to have killer instinct, we’ve got to try to blow people out and try to win the division instead of it going down to the last week.”
Under Todd Bowles’ leadership, the Buccaneers have achieved 10-plus wins in three of the last five seasons, while dominating the NFC South with four consecutive division titles. However, their 2024 postseason run was cut short by the Washington Commanders, led by dynamic quarterback Jayden Daniels, the No. 1 overall pick, in the NFC Wild Card round.
Bowles is counting on the experienced players on the roster to propel the team forward in 2025, particularly a talented group of veteran offensive weapons that are poised to help Tampa Bay take the next step.
