The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a couple of eye-catching signings in 2020. They brought in the likes of Tom Brady, Leonard Fournette, Shady McCoy, Rob Gronkowski, and Antonio Brown on short-term deals. A busy summer resulted in the Bucs winning their second-ever Super Bowl title with Brady as their starter.
The Bucs defense led by Suh and others put up an impressive display to restrict the Kansas City Chiefs to just 9 points in the Super Bowl LV finale. In doing so, Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first team in NFL history to lift a Lombardi trophy on home soil.
