The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hope their 2016 season ends with a trip to Houston. They know it will begin with a flight to Philadelphia.
On Thursday, the NFL announced the scheduled preseason opponents for each team, and the weeks in which the games would take place this summer. The specific dates and times of most of the contests will be finalized at a later date, though the slate of nationally-televised games, a list that once again includes the Buccaneers, has already been scheduled.
The Buccaneers begin their warmup slate with two road games, heading to Philadelphia to play the Eagles in Week One and then making a short trip upstate to play the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week Two.
