Quote:

Dec 16 Spurlock returned a first-quarter kick 90 yards for a TD for a 14-3 lead against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. It was the first kickoff return for a touchdown in Buccaneers history.

Advice: A total of 141 players have returned kickoffs since Tampa Bay's inaugural season in 1976. It took 32 seasons and 1,865 tries for the franchise's first kickoff return TD.

I really had no clue Tampa Bay never had a kickoff touchdown in its history!

That was quite an interesting figure, good to see them finally get one!

Yet, it was the most commonly used graphic during football games at this point. Forget the stupid Fox Robot, forget individual scores or stats... "The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have never returned a touchdown in team history" was a more common graphic to see than both.

Congrats to TB for getting that monkey off their backs.

No if they could just get the riding-the-super-bowl-victory monkey off their backs and start playing to win again (and being south champs doesn't mean they are a good team, just better than a weak south division)

Weak South is an understatement.

^^ So weak that I hope when the Bucs are trounced in the first round of the playoffs, it'll be proven.

To think, what two years ago, the South was considered one of the best.
