Buccaneers 2016 season preview: Battle of the up-and-comers

Previewing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 2016 season, game by game. Today: the Oakland Raiders in week eight.

Bucs’ all-time record vs. Raiders: 3-6

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers don’t have much of a history playing against the Oakland Raiders, except for one rather notable game: Super Bowl XXXVII. That crushing win signaled the start of a long and steep decline for the Raiders, and a slower and more up-and-down decline for the Bucs. Now, though, both teams are on their way back: both have young, promising quarterbacks, a good coaching staff, and a lot of talent across the board.
